Clement Manyathela speaks with Risenga Maluleke, the Statistician-General of South Africa and Head of Statistics South Africa, about the ongoing crisis of crime in the country. Maluleke clarifies that crime in South Africa can be divided into two categories: reported crime, which is recorded in SAPS (South African Police Service) administrative records, and unreported crime – those incidents that are experienced but never reported to the police. He highlights some of the most frequently reported crimes in South Africa, including: Murders Sexual offences, with around 84% of these incidents reported Housebreaking (when the victim is not home) and home robberies "Housebreaking remains the highest crime in South Africa," Maluleke says. He further explains that a key indicator of a community's safety is whether people feel comfortable walking freely at night, confident in their security. Unfortunately, he notes, this is not the reality in South Africa, particularly for women. Maluleke also points out that many South Africans tend to trust the police more than the judicial system. He explains that, in the court of law, the process begins with the defendant pleading, followed by the trial. In contrast, in a traditional setting, the individual is first tried, and only then is the plea made. Thank you for listening to The Clement Manyathela podcast.

The country's population has grown by nearly 836,000 people, representing a 1.33% increase between July 2023 and July 2024.

The annual consumer price inflation is now at  5.1% in June 2024, down from 5.2% in May. This is expected to provide some  relief for consumers as  inflation eased.  Stats SA has released data today , which shows that inflation has remained outside the central bank's midpoint target of four-point-five per cent. The rate for food and non-alcoholic beverages also edged lower to four-point-six per cent last month after stalling at four-point-seven per cent in May and April. It is the lowest since September 2020. Here is Patrick Kelly, Chief Director for Price Statistics at Stats SA

The Medical Research Council says the 2022 South African census is unfit for purpose and may not be reliable as a source for planning and resource allocation. This follows a report by the Council which reveals that the Stats SA 2022 census population estimates of 62 Million people is overrated by a million people and that there are material discrepancies at district and municipal level. Half of this excess is attributable to overestimates of the Indian, Asian and white population groups. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Tom Moultrie, professor of demography at the University of Cape Town.

The SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) has reached a one-year pay deal for a 7% raise for workers in the water industry represented in the Amanzi Bargaining Council. The growth rate surpasses the inflation rate of 5.2% observed in April and May. The largest municipal union, Samwu, which represents more than 160,000 of the almost 300,000 municipal employees in the nation, and the water boards of South Africa have an agreement that will last from July 1 to June 30, 2025. Speaking about this arrangement with host Motheo Khoaripe is national media officer Papikie Mohale. The escalation of geopolitical risks brought about by the continuing conflicts, which started with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and proceeded with the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East. Due to this, there is now a greater demand for gold, which is often regarded as a safe haven asset. The rush for protection, the increase in gold recycling, worries about inflation, and central bank purchases are additional motivators. Morningstar South Africa's Senior Investment Analyst Michael Kruger goes into further detail on this in a lengthy interview with host Motheo Khoaripe. In May 2024, mining production decreased. Seasonally adjusted mineral sales at current prices decreased by 8.0% from April 2024 to the same month in 2024. Nonetheless, sales did exhibit a noteworthy trend, increasing by 9.8% in May compared to April. Following monthly fluctuations of 8.9% in March and -0.2% in April, this occurred. Host Motheo Khoaripe chats with Sitef & Co. founder and director Mihlali Sitefane to provide more details. In South Africa, there have been several odd weather events in recent months. These have included tornadoes that are unique in the KwaZulu-Natal area of South Africa, floods in the Eastern Cape, and mid-latitude cyclones in the Western Cape. The increase in global temperature resulting from a rise in carbon emissions is one of the primary causes of climate change. 2024 is one of the two years in which temperatures have reached record highs. Lee-Anne Bac, Director, Tourism Specialist Unit, BDO South Africa, talks about the extent of the damage with host Motheo Khoaripe. Scientists have criticized the government's most recent census, arguing that it is so flawed that it cannot be relied upon to track the success of critical programs like children's vaccinations or to allocate cash and resources. Stats SA's projection of 62 million people for the 2022 census is exaggerated by one million, and there are similarly significant discrepancies at the district and municipal levels. Dr. Pali Lehohla, a former statistician-general from South Africa, shares the tale with host Motheo Khoaripe. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government's most recent census has come under fire from scientists, who claim it is so faulty that it cannot be trusted to allocate funds and resources or track the effectiveness of important initiatives like childhood immunisations. The 62 million persons estimated for the 2022 census by Stats SA is inflated by one million, and there are similar substantial differences at the district and municipal levels. Former South African statistician general Dr. Pali Lehohla recounts the story with host Motheo Khoaripe.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mining experts and host Bruce Whitfield discuss BHP's final attempt to acquire Anglo American.
