Crime Hub

Treating #PoliceCorruption as an investigative problem misses the point. Corrupt cops often operate in networks that evade complaint-driven systems. Police heads must ensure internal accountability, intelligence-led investigations and disciplinary action. ISS Today #SouthAfrica crimehub.org/iss-today/nati…

South Africa's criminal justice system is reactive and fragmented, allowing criminal networks to outpace the state. President Ramaphosa's new disruption programme signals a shift from enforcement to early intervention. This upstreaming approach is about more than data sharing; it requires alignment across agencies, expanded mandates for regulatory bodies, and a culture shift from passive record-keeping to active risk detection.

#OrganisedCrime and #corruption leave digital footprints. With the right technology and analytics, these data points reveal red flags that enable disruption and early intervention. This upstreaming approach, noted in #SONA2026, is key to stabilising #SouthAfrica’s democracy. ISS Today crimehub.org/iss-today/upst…

Used strategically, South Africa’s upstream capabilities can take the sting out of #OrganisedCrime and #corruption. Regulatory bodies like the JSE, CIPC and Public Service Commission can help the justice system disrupt illicit money lifecycles. ISS Today by Colette Ashton crimehub.org/iss-today/upst…

Upstreaming offers SA a smarter response to organised crime and corruption As justice systems worldwide grapple with tech-driven financial crime, disruption and early intervention are becoming vital prevention tools. crimehub.org/iss-today/upst…

South Africa’s continued reliance on emergency measures like military deployment highlights a deeper policy failure: the absence of a sustained, well-resourced plan to prevent violence. Over successive national strategies, prevention has been sidelined in favour of reactive criminal justice responses. This approach overlooks the complex drivers of violence and depends heavily on underfunded civil society organisations and poorly coordinated government departments. Without prioritising prevention in national planning, SA risks remaining trapped in cycles of violence, costly interventions and limited long-term impact. ISS Today by Chandré Gould crimehub.org/iss-today/plan…

Without a deliberate and properly funded #ViolencePrevention plan, South Africa will keep paying high prices for short-term measures like military deployments. ISS Today by Chandré Gould on how 16 years of government planning have failed to prioritise preventing violence. crimehub.org/iss-today/plan…

For over a decade, #SouthAfrica’s national plans have prioritised reacting to crime over preventing it. This explains rising violence and the resort to costly interventions like army deployments that offer short-term relief but no lasting solution. ISS Today crimehub.org/iss-today/plan…

Planning to fail: why SA is not preventing violence and crime For the past 16 years, South Africa’s government has not planned for the prevention of violence, particularly interpersonal violent crime. crimehub.org/iss-today/plan…

But lasting progress requires acting earlier, before criminal networks and corrupt practices take hold.

But what does it mean in practice when relations between government and NGOs – who provide most services to women and children – are tainted by unfulfilled promises, funding delays and a lack of trust? Given the severity of the crisis and the country’s strained fiscal environment, smart solutions that don’t reinvent the wheel are needed. Rebuilding trust is key. It requires rethinking how decisions are made, how power is shared, and how engagements are facilitated. Models like the Violence Prevention Forum show this is possible.

Ramaphosa declared #GenderBasedViolence a national disaster. That signals urgency, but without mutual trust and strong government–NGO partnerships, it risks becoming another unfulfilled commitment. ISS Today by Senzekile Bengu and Xhanti Mhlambiso #SouthAfrica crimehub.org/iss-today/sa-n…
