Government has identified the fight against crime as one of its top five priorities since 2007. In the State of the Nation Address for 2011, President jacob Zuma said the crime statistics showed a decrease in most crimes, particularly armed robberies, housebreakings and business robberies as well as contact crimes.
The crime statistics for 2010/11 released by Minister Nathi Mthethwa show that government is making progress in some areas, there are instances where we are reaching stability and there are types of crimes which are still a challenge. Numbers for most types of crime have decreased.
>> Crime Statistics Report, 2010/11
For 2011, government has committed to:
- improving the capacity and effectiveness of the police – in particular the detective services, forensic analysts and crime intelligence
- increased visible policing and patrols in identified hotspots
- reducing the proliferation of illegal and legal firearms
- working with communities and other key stakeholders to deal with drug peddling and abuse
- continuing to prioritise crime against women and children, and provide support through Thuthuzela care centres.
In the budget for 2011, Finance Minister Pravin Gorhan announced additional resources for the safety and security cluster:
- A total of R12.8 billion goes to the departments of Police, Justice and Constitutional Development, Correctional Services and the Independent Complaints Directorate.
- The budget provides R2.1 billion for the increase in police personnel to 202 260 in 2013/14, from about 190 000 at present.
- An additional R670 million is allocated for the upgrade of information technology over the MTEF period, and R490 million is for construction of courts, including new high courts in Nelspruit and Polokwane.
- Total expenditure on public order and safety functions will amount to R91 billion next year, rising to R105 billion in 2013/14.
