The report, published by the South African Cities Network, confirms that the murder rate in Cape Town has increased by almost 70% between 2009/10 and 2017/18, and that the province has the highest rates for robbery and property-related crimes. It attributes gang violence, illegal firearms, corrupt SAPS officers and drugs and alcohol as contributing factors to these figures.
