"The number of murders committed in South Africa has continued to drop, but house robberies have increased by more than a quarter, according to Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa.
Releasing the police's crime statistics for the 2008/9 financial year, Mthethwa said contact crime - the form of crime generally associated with violence - currently accounted for 32.7 percent of all crime and that there had been a decrease in five of the seven contact crime categories.
"While this is good news (in a way), we are still a long way away from the improvements that we all wish to see. A 27% increase in house robberies is quite alarming!
Making sure that household insurance is in order must be a priority for all of us, at least with the correct insurance you can be sure you will get your things replaced. Remember your household goods must always be insured for their FULL REPLACEMENT value, in order to avoid being under-insured.
