Isikole se-UNISA's School of Criminal Justice senze ucwaningo ekuqondeni nasekuvimbeleni ukugetshengwa kwezindlu eNingizimu Afrika. Ngokusekelwe ezingxoxweni ezijulile nezigebengu ezilahlwe yicala, nakhu akutholile:
- Izigebengu eziyisi-8 kweziyi-10 zenziwa ngosizo lolwazi oluvela ezinsizweni, abalimi kanye nalabo ababengabasebenzi.
- Izigebengu zizoqapha ikhaya isikhathi esingamasonto amabili.
- Ukuhlasela okuningi kwenzeka phakathi kuka-19:00 naphakathi kwamabili njengoba abantu bezipholele, belele, bepheka noma bebukele i-TV futhi amasistimu okuvikela kanye nemishayo ingavulwa. Ukugetshengwa kungaqhubeka kuze kube ngu-04:00.
- U-97% wabaphangi uhlomile.
- Ngokwesilinganiso, iqembu lezigelekeqe elibamba inkunzi lihlomile linamalungu amane.
- Isilinganiso sobudala bomphangi wasendlini siphakathi kweminyaka eyi-19 kuya kwengama-26.
- Isilinganiso esingu-30% wabo bonke abagebengu ezindlini bake babulala, noma abanqeni ukubulala.
- Bangu-17% kuphela abaphangi ezindlini abangabokufika.
- Kuzo zonke izigebengu eziboshiwe, u-90% awunazo iziqu zika-matric noma ubengasebenzi. U-10% owawuqashiwe wawuyeka umsebenzi lapho uqinisekisa ukuthi 'ungathola malini' ngokugetshengwa.
- Iningi labahlukunyezwayo noma abahlosiwe abantu abacebile ababonisa ngokusobala ingcebo yabo, isibonelo abagqoke ubucwebe obubizayo.
- Isigebengu esijwayelekile sigebenga izikhathi ezingu-103 eminyakeni engu-7 ngaphambi kokuba abanjwe.
- Iningi lamakhaya abahlaseli noma 'izisekelo' ziyimizuzu eyi-10 ukuya kwengama-30 ukusuka ekhelini eliqondiwe.
- Izinga lokugwetshwa kwamacala okugebenga ezindlini eNingizimu Afrika lingu-7.67% kuphela. E-USA ingamaphesenti angama-53%.
- Abaphangi abavinjwa ama-alamu nezinkonzo zokusabela kuhlonyiwe.
Lezi zinyathelo zokuphepha ziyisithiyo esikhulu sobugebengu:
- Ezicijile zikagesi
- Imishayo yokutholwa
- I-Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
- Izinja ezincane ezilala ngaphakathi endlini (abaphangi babheka lokhu njengesivimbelo esikhulu kunazo zonke.)
- Ngokwamazwi kaDkt Rudolph Zinn encwadini yakhe ethi Home Invasion – “Bahlola indawo ukuze babone ukuthi ezokuphepha ziqine kangakanani. Ukugada noma ukugada komakhelwane kunomthelela ku-68% ekutheni bayangena noma cha, ngakho ukuba newashi lomakhelwane elihle endaweni kungaba yisithiyo esikhulu.”
Ngaphambi kokuthi uphume endlini yakho...
- Qinisekisa ukuthi zonke izihlahla nezihlahla zisikiwe ukuze zingavumeli isigebengu ukuthi sizifihle ngenkathi sizama ukuvula iwindi noma umnyango. Uma kungenzeka, tshala izihlahlana ezinameva ahlabayo ezizungeze lezi zindawo.
- Ungayeki ukuqaphela kwakho ukuphepha ngaphandle kwezindonga zendlu yakho. Izindawo zegceke lakho (uma zikhona) nazo zifanelwe ukunakwa. Ngokuvamile, ungashiyi noma yini ezungeze igceke engasiza isigebengu singene endlini yakho. Izitebhisi, amabhokisi aqoqwayo nanoma imaphi amathuluzi asengadini kufanele abekwe kude, okungcono ekhabetheni elikhiyiwe. Amasela amaningi asebenzise amathuluzi omnikazi wendawo ukuze agqekeze umuzi.
- Ungabeki amatafula efenisha yangaphandle eduze kwendlu, njengoba lawa angaba isitebhisi esilula ukuya ophahleni. Kunalokho uwafake phakathi kusihlwa.
- Amafasitela anesitezi sesibili avame ukushiywa engavikelekile, okwenza kube lula ukuthi isigebengu singene endlini. Ukuze uvimbele abantu abangase bakwazi ukugibela izintaba, gcoba amafutha kunoma imaphi amapayipi ensimbi uma eseduze namafasitela. Sebenzisa uVaseline noma amafutha ezimoto acwebile, kuye ngombala wepayipi (noma shintsha ngepayipi lepulasitiki).
- Inja ekhonkothayo, ukushintsha indlela yakho yansuku zonke kanye nokuba khona kwamakhamera e-CCTV kungenza ikhaya lakho lingakhangi kangako ezigebengwini.
- Qiniseka ukuthi ibhokisi lakho leposi lihlala lingenalutho. Ibhokisi leposi eligcwele lenza kubonakale sengathi awukho ekhaya.
- Njengoba abaphangi bekwazi ukukubuka ukunyakaza kwakho isikhathi eside esingamaviki amabili, zama ukuphambuka esimisweni sakho esivamile njalo. Hamba futhi ubuyele ekhaya ngezikhathi ezahlukene, sebenzisa imizila ehlukene futhi uvakashele izitolo ezahlukene kulokho ojwayele ukukwenza.
- Qaphela kakhulu lapho uqasha abasebenzi basezindlini kanye nabanye abahlinzeki bezinsizakalo ngeke babukeke phansi. Qaphela ukuthi ubani omngenisa endlini yakho.
