Cash-in-transit robberies drop in 2025, but violent tactics on the rise
Cape Times
|December 31, 2025
CASH-in-transit (CIT) robbery statistics reveal a significant decline overall, however, the rise in violent tactics employed by criminals has raised alarm bells.
According to the latest figures from the Cash-in-Transit Association of South Africa (Citasa), a total of 180 CIT robberies were recorded from January to December 21, 2025.
Citasa head Grant Clark said the number of CIT robberies decreased by 13% when comparing January to December 21, 2025, with the same period in 2024.
"In 2024, KwaZulu-Natal was the highest risk province, and Gauteng was in the second position. In 2025, the picture changed, with Gauteng in the highest position, followed by KwaZulu-Natal. Eastern Cape shows a decrease," Clark said.
He explained that from January to March and during May 2025, Gauteng and KZN reported the same number of CIT robberies. Gauteng was the location for the majority of CIT robberies in the latter part of 2025, with KZN experiencing the next highest number.
