KZN Premier says signs crime in province ‘has stabilised’
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube says politically motivated killings, gender-based violence and elevated levels of crime continue to be a challenge.
Dube-Ncube delivered the State of the Province Address at the Oval Cricket Stadium in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday.
"According to the latest SAPS statistics, great improvements have been recorded for crimes which are dependent on the police action for detention with an increase of 9.6% or 2419 cases. That is a ray of hope that our province has stabilised."
She says load shedding continues to be a problem, but they've taken steps to address the immediate crisis.
