Acting Police Minister Prof Firoz Cachalia is expected to release the crime statistics for April to June 2026 in Pretoria.
The South African Police Service is expected to present the quarterly crime statistics for April to June 2026 at midday on Friday in Pretoria.
These are crimes that occurred during the first quarter of the 2026/2027 financial year. The Acting Minister of Police, Firoz Cachalia, the Deputy Ministers of Police, Cassel Mathale and Dr. Polly Boshielo, together with the Acting National Commissioner of Police, Lieutenant-General Puleng Dimpane, are expected to present the statistics.
Cachalia said people are entitled to know how many crimes are reported to the SAPS regularly.
“We share this information so that communities, businesses, and public service departments will have a sense of what is happening in their neighbourhoods in terms of crime and related risks. Knowledge is power and enables better and more effective collective action to improve public safety,” he said.
