Crime in South Africa has fallen by 40% in the first 3 months of its blockade, according to official figures.
The Police Minister said the maximum number of crimes were committed between April and June, adding sexual assault and arson.
He added that a debatable ban on coronavirus blockade of alcohol had helped, but that attacks on retail liquor outlets increased the pandemic.
South Africa has one of the world’s crime rates. He has recorded more than part of covid-19 cases in Africa.
More than 500,000 infections and 11,000 deaths have been reported in the country; BBC Africa editor-in-chief Mary Harper says this is possibly because of her reliable testing rates.
Police Minister Bheki Cele said Friday that the figures “paint a picture” pink “never before noticed of a nonviolent South Africa that is experiencing a “criminal holiday.”
“These statistics show significant minimisations across all categories of crimes compared to the same comparative era last year,” he said. “40.4% minimize the number of reported rape cases during the 3 months.”
Contact and asset-related crimes (fires and malicious damage) decreased by 29%.
The ban on alcohol and cigarettes at South Africa’s lockout has been controversial.
The country implemented a ban on the sale of alcohol between 27 March and 1 June. The ban was re-imposed on 12 July and remains in force.
In April, when the blockade began, Cele warned that its officials would “destroy the infrastructure where alcohol is sold.”
The police minister has been accused of encouraging brutal technique to other people caught up in the drink, adding the alleged beating to a guy in his own backyard.
The owners of bars and places to eat also protested the ban, as it would destroy their businesses.
