Gauteng Provincial Police Commissioner Tommy Mthombeni was briefing the Community Safety Portfolio Committee on crime stats earlier.
“We are deeply worried about other serious crimes that fall under these categories such as murder, attempted murder as well as robbery aggravated as they remain stubbornly high,” he said.
“The majority of these crimes are influenced by a wide range of generators.”
