CAPE RAPE ON THE RISE
Daily Voice
|February 23, 2026
THE Western Cape showed an increase in sex crimes as acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia announced on Friday that they will kick off a review of its strategies to combat gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF).
This comes right after the release of the third-quarter crime stats for 2025.
It also follows short on the heels of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s declaration of GBVF as a “national disaster” last year.
Cachalia said that despite recording a marginal national decrease in overall sexual offences and reported rape cases for the period covering 1 October to 31 December 2025, there were alarming regional increases.
Offences
While it the figures showed that cases of rape were down from 11 803 rapes to 11 430, the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Mpumalanga all recorded increases in both sexual offences and rape.
