Play your part by reporting crime

Government notes the release of the Governance, Public Safety and Justice Survey 2025/26 by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA). While the survey indicates that many South Africans feel relatively safe in their neighbourhoods during the day, government remains deeply concerned that fewer than two in five people feel safe walking alone at night. The finding that only about 48% of households affected by housebreaking reported the crime to the South African Police Service (SAPS) is equally concerning.
