Close to 16000 murders is hardly anything to celebrate.

Nor are 56000 reported cases of rape.

Agreed but the numbers aren't going up as per the perception of some here.

Down is down. Seems like shoot to kill is here to stay

This is good news Thursday

True, though at least those numbers are down as well.

I wonder why rpm hasn't posted an article on this yet?

That's because they're running out of people to murder.

 

[Geriatrix]

That's all very nice but what's the conviction rate?

 

[BBSA]

I see they missed 5 murders at the Pretoria spring day party, wonder how often this happens

 

[Kornhub]

It is good news even though the numbers are high.

Lol, well with the population growth out of control I find that hard to believe.

So shoddy journalism should count as fact now should it?

You do know that crime stats are very political, right?

Yes, what does that have to do with the price of bread?

Come on, you are an intelligent person. Just like the metric results one need to be very sceptical.

Ofcourse, but I'll accept the median is on a downward curve. It it shoots up next year, that will be crap, hopefully it will continue into a steeper nosedive.

their parents.....

 

[lucifir]

I hardly find this surprising .... they have been trying to doctor these stats since forever .. so now it seems they finally managed to do that .... wonder who audits these stats ... they must be making a lot of money just to stay quite and do nothing
