CAPE TOWN (AFP) -
South Africa's murder rate rose again last year, official statistics showed Tuesday, with over 20,000 killed across the country -- about 57 a day -- as police admitted they were struggling to keep control.
A total of 20,336 people were killed in the 12 months to March this year, up from 19,016 the previous year.
The numbers reflect a 6.9 percent year-on-year increase, one of the highest per capita since the end of apartheid 24 years ago.
"Fifty-seven a day, that's how South Africans are murdered. It borders close to the war zone while there is a peace, there is no war in South Africa," Police Minister Bheki Cele told reporters.
"The figures that always scare me are murder figures," he said.
"South Africans must not take it as a norm that they can be hijacked, robbed and killed every day. We have to pick up the ball and change the situation for the better."
Francois Beukman, who heads the police oversight committee in parliament, described the numbers as "alarming and totally unacceptable".
Presenting the figures to parliament, Norman Sekhukhune, the police official responsible for crime research and statistics, said murder rate had increased for the past six consecutive years.
South African police often come under fire for failing to bring down crime levels, while police chiefs saying they need at least 62,000 more officers.

Don’t call them swaths. That will generalize them and make it seem like murdering 57 people per day is bad.

Apartheid ends. Black people are given equal rights.
And they start killing each other.

And within 250 years they’d be racist if they tried.
Solid reference, also.

Poverty has everything to do with violence. It's why white and Hispanic majority cities are just as violent as their black counterparts.

Why add in Hispanic if your claim is true. Other than it being a ridiculous claim in general.

Because I don't want to hear facts and I'll continue to ignore the evidence of dysfunction

All they need are jobs. Right?
