STELLALANDER-VRYBURG: Public confidence in South Africa’s police force has plummeted to its lowest level on record, with only 22% of citizens expressing strong trust in law enforcement. 
This stark figure emerges from new findings by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), which shows that public trust in the South African Police Service (SAPS) has nearly halved since 1998. The data forms part of the HSRC’s South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS) series, which has tracked public perceptions of crime and policing annually since 2003. Each year, the HSRC conducts between 2,500 and 3,200 interviews with South Africans aged 16 and older.
