27. Contributing Factors • Environmental design – poor infrastructure, roads / emergence of shacks (uncontrolled) / poor or no street lighting / lack of house numbering /open spaces. • Complainants tend to often withdraw cases stating that they do not have time to go to court (repeat offenders) • Lack of sufficient by- laws , opening of businesses by foreigners / illegal immigrants.

28. Contributing Factors • Ever expanding informal settlement population places a strain on policing and resources, both human and physical. • Large number of vacant / disused /unused buildings. • Increase in rapes – Bloemspruit / Sonskyn – increase in reporting rates • Increased number of Service Delivery actions – foreigners are targeted / attacked. • Illegal mining activity – Goldfields • Cross border crime

29. Contributing Factors • Increase number of rapes at Phuthaditjhaba– as a result of a serial rapist near the University. Coupled with rapes he was linked to robberies, theft, attempted murders.
