Five South African cities are among the ten most dangerous in the world

• South Africa's administrative capital, Pretoria, ranked first out of 401 cities polled in the index, with a Crime Index score of 81.7.
• The Crime Index is compiled biannually and estimates a country’s overall crime level based on user-submitted surveys, with higher scores indicating higher crime levels.
• Crime and policing expert Dr Mxolisi Mathebula cautioned that despite declining rates of murder and other serious crimes, South Africans should not celebrate too quickly due to underreporting of other crimes.
