Depressing crime stats

Visible policing is key.

GAMALAKHE is, according to the police’s latest crime statistics, the best policed area on the South Coast.

The crime rate in the town has dropped in almost all categories.

However, Margate made the headlines for all the wrong reasons once again.

The former jewel of the coast was in the top 10 for the worst precincts for home invasions.

And the town’s murder rate has also increased.

On the positive side the Ugu District is one of the safer places to live in South Africa.

Visible policing remains the key weapon to fight crime.
