CAPE TOWN - Violent crime is on the rise in the Western Cape, and the numbers are disturbing.
While the murder rate saw a slight dip from 76 to 62 in a single week, the news isn't good.
There's a significant increase in attempted murders and armed robberies.
Most worryingly, the number of rapes has climbed.
Seventy-seven women were reported raped between the 28th of July and the third of August alone.
Ayesha Ismail reports there are calls for urgent debate in Parliament on the soaring crime in the Western Cape.
