The Freedom Front Plus today expressed concern over the level of violence which has been reflected in the country’s latest crime statistics.
FF+ leader Pieter Groenwald‚ a member of parliament’s police portfolio committee‚ commended the police for not trying to hide the facts‚ but also raised worries about violent crimes.
“If we look at the murder and common assault stats‚ that tells me we are a violent country‚” he said.
