Nqakula: We have a problem... Nqakula: 2010 safe from crime 'Robberies impair SA's psyche' Stats mock Nqakula claims - DA Cops name top crime hotspots Bank robberies up by 118%

Johannesburg - Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula will not resign over statistics that show increases in crime, he told a business briefing in Johannesburg on Wednesday.

"Well, I am not going to resign," he told business people gathered for a breakfast at the Johannesburg Country Club.

On Tuesday, the lobby group Afriforum called for his resignation after the police crime trends report showed an increase in crimes such as murder, car hijacking and aggravated robbery for the financial year 2006/2007.

"Those who say I must resign should look to what they themselves are contributing to the fight against crime.

"I am going to continue... to find answers to the problems we have," he said.
