Violent crime in South Africa reaches 20-year high | BBC News


The murder rate in South Africa is at a 20-year high.

According to the latest annual statistics, more than 27,000 people were killed in a year but only 12% of cases were solved.

Security van heists and robberies are also a serious problem, with many people relying on private security instead of police.

Minister for the police, Bheki Cele,…

@jeffreybrewer8649

As an American, I occasionally stop in on SA videos to see what our future looks like…

@davidseaford797

The whites caused such problems like in the USA , the poor POC always get blamed , like the Islamists in U.K. and Europe unfairly get blamed for terrorist attacks ,

@saintzyggo8444

@alanwilby9927

@PatrickFoley-vf3lr

Say what you want but in most African countries where whites lost power it turned to chaos.

@vegetadbza4604

Amred security team obviously not trained for shit

@PraiseHIM40

Always ask why criminal sentencing is ALWAYS concurrent NEVER consecutive for multiple offenses😉

@saladiniub

After taking Israel to ICJ this is expected from the Zionits

@mohaum1150

South Africa is worse for law abiding citizens,and law enforcement has failed .

@j.peaceo1031

Looks like South Africans are so great at governing themselves that they can mess with International Affair.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; ———HOLY BIBLE

@S00WER

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; ———HOLY BIBLE

@thegeminiclub

That’s the result of poverty and desperation

@TamimLB

I see BBC starts posting all this just as SA starts finding its feet again and takes Israel to ICJ for genocide. BBC the lying organisation.

@janomesteve3129

Cele ,Malema and Ramaphosa are criminals themselves

@janomesteve3129

The politicians in South Africa are criminals themselves

@iskaykabeya609

Crime in South Africa is the fruits of democracy.

@the_engineer325

Please don't forget to report on the opioid epidemic in the US as well

@CMONCMON007

That police commissioner is the biggest gangster

@user-jx1pm8ki4g

Yet u worried for palestines n spending money on a losing g case

@Notrocketscience101

The west ruined the place when they arrogantly told you how to conduct your affairs.

@kevinmaden5572

The demand for the RAND is real

@kevinmaden5572

APARTEID is over ! Why are they still there ? They should have left in 1994

@kevinmaden5572

South Africa is not the home to Colonizers or Colonial imperialism so leave

@kevinmaden5572

Crime will decrease after all the Colonizers have left the country if your not African why are you there ?

@shepherd9945

The ANC is a useless political party in government and the voters are just as useless if not brainless, they'll continue voting for the ANC regardless.

@drackkor725

At least we know it's not because the blacks are back in charge. This is Europe's future. Keep bringing in more African Migrant's idiots!

@OscarHadebe

South Africa has always been riddled with violent crime. The only difference now is that it affects EVERYONE.

@feremusukoroma2635

South africa you put your hands against the people of GOD (ISRAEL) I pray you repent or THE GOD OF ISRAEL is coming for you.

@joshuamichau5122

Everyone always talks about the murder rate. The rape rate is the highest in the world. What a culture.

@aaronbutao9543

Cover crime rate in America as well.

@llda

And instead of focussing on internal matters, they are focussed elsewhere by politicians…..to sue Israel..🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

@charmainekrien8446

I'm A Born South African.. Thank you for bringing this crime and corruption that takes place over in South Africa since the ANC has taken power.. They must also bring the going Roll Out Of Power Outages that takes also on a daily basis in South Africa for Hours and Hours. It's become a totally disfunctional country completely. Our public buses, trains even the rail roads has been stolen.. farmers are murdered and robbed. Corruption is totally out of control and nothing gets done about it.. What been happening till this day in South Africa is SHOCKING!

@jon9625

Bad and getting worse😢

@jessicaclaire495

But this is what the West wants, SA down the drain so they can take all the resources.

@MattKowynia

South Africa at the International Court of Justice charges and effectively argues that Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinian people, thereby implicating Britain in its support of the massacre. Funny that the BBC then runs a story on "record crime in South Africa."

@chrisudoka5420

They will blame it on foreigners mostly black Africans.

@eastafrika728

When you keep people out of the financial system and budget, expect crime.
