The latest third-quarter crime statistics for the 2025–2026 financial year (October–December 2025), presented by Police Minister Firoz Cachalia, paint a stark picture for Gauteng.

According to the data released by the South African Police Service, Gauteng recorded 1,536 murders in just three months — averaging 17 murders per day. The province accounts for 24.2% of all murders nationally, making it the highest contributor in the country.

Attempted murder is also rising. The report shows 1,939 attempted murder cases, up from 1,820 during the same quarter last year — a 6.5% increase. That translates to roughly 21 attempted murders per day.
