CRIME STATS | Gauteng contributed more than a quarter to national overall crime stats: Gauteng contributed 27.2% to the national overall crime statistics for the fourth quarter of the 2022/2023 financial year.
This was revealed by police provincial commissioner Lt-Gen Elias Mawela while presenting the province’s fourth-quarter statistics to the legislature’s portfolio committee on community safety on Wednesday.“We have observed over the five-year period that this contribution is slightly reducing, as in 2019 our contribution was 28.2%, which reflects a decrease by 1.0% or 10,750 counts over the past five years,” he said.
Mawela added that Gauteng's contribution towards the national figure would always remain high considering the characteristics and profile of the province.He said it was mainly because Gauteng continued to be the most populated province, according to Stats SA. “We are still likely to experience the largest inflow of migrants due to the province’s economic strength that influences its attractiveness,” he said.
