195 Suspected Murderers among 13 164 Suspects arrested in October – 306 Firearms Recovered

DURBAN – Various police operations, including Operation Shanela and day to day policing have resulted in the arrest of 13 164 suspects for different categories of crime in the month of October 2025 in KwaZulu-Natal.  

Tracing and tracking teams cornered and arrested 195 suspects who were linked to cases of murder and 214 suspects in connection with cases of attempted murder. Two hundred and sixty-two (262) suspects were nabbed for rape, whilst 11 suspects were arrested for attempted rape. Forty-five (45) suspects were also arrested for sexual assault cases and 271 people were arrested for transgression of the Domestic Violence Act. 

A total of 236 suspects were arrested for robbery cases, with 108 of them arrested for house robbery. Those who solve personal differences through violence were not spared, with 1 865 suspects arrested for assault with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm (Assault GBH).

Firearms are the weapon of choice during the commission of serious and violent crimes. In efforts to rid the communities of all illegal firearms, police in KwaZulu-Natal recovered 306 firearms and over 3 000 rounds of ammunition of various calibre of firearms. Of the recovered firearms, 14 were rifles and 13 of them were homemade guns. A total of 452 suspects were arrested for property related crimes, with 231 of them arrested for burglary at residential premises. 

With the festive season upon us, residents are reminded to keep their doors and windows closed and locked, especially when there is no one in the house. Fifty-six (56) suspects were arrested for stock theft and 131 cattle, 109 goats and 13 sheep were recovered during the operations.

Motorists are once more urged to park their vehicles at safe parking spaces and ensure that their vehicles are properly locked. During October 2025 operations, 16 suspects were arrested for theft of motor vehicles and 52 suspects were arrested for theft out of motor vehicles. 

Driving under the influence of alcohol endangers oneself and other motorists, and police will enforce the law to the fullest. Nine hundred and thirty-one (931) motorists were arrested for drunken driving, whilst 2 034 people were arrested for drug related crimes.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.
