Senzo Mchunu, die minister van polisie, het ges\u00ea hierdie statistieke vertel \u2019n \u201cwrede storie\u201d oor die erns van die probleme waarmee die land te doen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie getalle verteenwoordig meer as net syfers op papier \u2013 dit weerspie\u00ebl die werklikheid van ons inwoners, hul vrese, hul verliese en hul hoop op \u2019n veiliger m\u00f4re. Die data is \u2019n sterk herinnering aan die dringende behoefte aan optrede,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns word gekonfronteer met \u2019n krisis wat die veiligheid van ons gemeenskappe bedreig en die stabiliteit van ons nasie ondermyn. Veral kontakmisdade saai verwoesting en boesem vrees in. Dit is onaanvaarbaar, en ons moet hierdie uitdaging met onwrikbare vasberadenheid en strategiese akkuraatheid konfronteer,\u201d het die minister ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mchunu het ges\u00ea die mees kommerwekkende misdade is moord, verkragting, kaping, ontvoering vir losprysbetalings en afpersing. Die ministerie se prioriteite sluit in die \u201cnommer-een-prioriteit\u201d om misdaadvlakke te verlaag, die professionalisering van die polisiediens en ontworteling van korrupsie, belegging in tegnologie en kapasiteit van die misdaadintelligensie-eenheid om beter insigte en strategiese voordele in die stryd teen misdaadnetwerke te bied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die minister het belowe om met ander departemente \u2013 soos die departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling, justisie, korrektiewe dienste en basiese onderwys \u2013 saam te werk in die bekamping van misdaad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns sal nie rus totdat elke Suid-Afrikaner sonder vrees in die strate kan loop nie,\u201d het die minister afgesluit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
