Joburg is robbery capital of SA and most dangerous metro in Gauteng TheStar_news
Johannesburg - Joburg is the robbery capital of South Africa and the most dangerous metro in Gauteng, a new report shows. The State of Urban Safety in South Africa Report 2018/2019, which the South African Cities Network released yesterday, revealed that robbery was the most prevalent crime in greater Joburg.
Naidoo said police were championing the Safer City Model to create strategies to fight crime in the metros. A two-day National Safer City Summit was held in Pretoria last month. “Compared to the other metros, Joburg’s crime rates are low to moderate, except for assault and especially robbery,” said the report.
“It is unclear as to why there have been substantial increases in carjackings in most metros, but this may relate to the introduction of more sophisticated vehicle security measures, which has made the theft of parked vehicles more difficult,” the study said.
