The Governance, Public Safety and Justice Survey is a Stats SA population estimate based on a limited sample of diverse South Africans.
A fresh report states only 43.8% of South Africans would report a crime in progress, while 80.4% feel safe walking around their neighbourhood during the day.
These figures come from the Governance, Public Safety and Justice Survey 2023/24 presented by Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke on Tuesday, 27 August.The survey estimated that there were 1.5 million incidences of housebreaking, which equates to 5.9% of all households in the country.As with housebreaking, only 57.6% of the estimated 263,000 home robberies went unreported, with 53.6% of the 506,000 assaults going unreported.
The numbers are not an accurate reflection of the crime stats as the number of interviewed respondents totalled just over 43,000.
