A classic exampleof housebreaking and'theft occured in 1970 whencriminals broke into a tearoom owned by a White,stealing jewellery, cHeques and other items tothe value of RI SOS. IB) If the total financialloss of R6 213.,71 is broken down according todifferent years, it emerges that:(a)In 1967 there was aN estimated loss of Rl 484,OS.(b) The 1968 estimated loss was RI 181,46.(c) In 1969 the loss was estimated at R893,10.(d) The highest loss occured in 1970, namely R2 068,7S.(e)Finally, the 1971 loss was estimated at RS86,3S.8.3.3 Robbery: The financial losses suffered by the victimsof robbery during the period under discussion totalledRI 484,04 distributed as follows"accDtding~to'tbedifferent years:(a) In 1967 there was a total of Rl14,77.(b) In 1965-the losses were estimated at RI 107,17.(c)(d)(e)The estimates for 1969 amounted to R137,4S.During 1970 the financial loss was R27,SO.In 1971 the estimated losses amounted to RIOO,lS.There is no doubt that the financial losses sustainedby the victims in consequence of robbery are alsosubstantial. The most common type of robbery iswhat the Zulus describe as "UKUBAMBA:INKUNZI" (TOHOLD THE BULL). 19) The modus operandus thereofconsists in robbing a victim either by oointing afirearm at him or by stabbing him or" shooting himand thereafter pickpocketing him.The reason whythe victim is killed, is in most cases,to destroy18)19)Details of this crime were obtained from the R.C.A.Records in the Mtunzini Police Station, 1970.Ndabandaba, C.L.: "Crime and the African", Crime,Punishment and Correction, Volume 3, No.2, June 1974,pp. 33-34175/•••••

The victim or the policeOfficer evaluating property stolen or otherwisedestroyed,gives flnly a rough estimate. Informationregarding the cost of crime in this chapter is, therefore,incomplete.It has, inter alia, become clear in this chapter thatthe cost of crime both in terms of property lost anddestroyed through thefts and other crimes,is muchhigher than the figures estimated here. The resultof all this is that the absolute and relative cost ofcombating crime in Mtunzini is an expensive undertakingboth in terms of money and property lost and humanSUffering. More purposefUl research into the natureand value of property lost through crimes such asm~ntioned in this chapter can contribute greatly tothe prevention and combating of crime.176/•..•.•
