Sexual crimes slash in South Africa

Pretoria, Feb 16 (Prensa Latina) The sexual crime toll in South Africa registered a 1.7% depletion between October and December 2023, official sources informed.

According to South African Police Minister Bheki Cele, such a drop in sexual crimes, which include rape, sexual assault and non-consensual physical contact crimes, is partly the result of a police awareness campaign.

Submitting the figures for the last quarter of 2023, Cele detailed provinces with a sexual crime reduction were downtown Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal (southeast), Limpopo (north), Northern Cape (west) and Eastern Cape (south).
