Northern Cape MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison, Limakatso Koloi, together with Provincial Commissioner Lt. Gen. Koliswa Otola, has released the third quarter crime statistics at the Office of the Premier in Kimberley.

Police reports indicate that the Namakwa District led provincial improvements, recording a significant decrease of 22.4 percent in community reported crimes between October and December 2025.

Lt. Gen. Otola says that while seven categories of crime declined overall, increases in murder, attempted murder and property-related crimes remain a concern across the province.
