Ramaphosa raises concern over rising crime levels in SA

Ramaphosa says he empathises with women who are fearful.

ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed his concerns over the increasing crime rates in South Africa. During an ANC election campaign in Hammarsdale, west of Durban, Ramaphosa referred to a recent mass shooting where 11 people were killed and another died in the hospital. He stated that while the police are actively working to reduce crime, the issue of criminality, particularly in massacres, remains a significant concern.

Ramaphosa emphasized that they are focusing on ensuring the safety of women in the country and pledged to end criminality.

The ANC President's door-to-door campaign in Hammarsdale is part of his efforts to build better communities and address crime-related issues.
