Volume 2 Number 3
September 2022 How wrong we were about our National Commissioners of Police! That, just as we receive horrible information from SA’s risk assessment by the Global Initiative against Transnational Organised Crime (GI-TOC). |
Volume 2 Number 4
December 2022 The issue is dedicated to the 2022 #integritasza conference at Hugenote Kollege, Wellington, Western Cape Province of South Africa with conference title “Co-created Community-based Partnership Local Governance and Service Delivery in South Africa: Analysis, Action and Activism”.

Volume 3 Number 1
March 2023 Our research shows that people do not like bulky reading matter. This edition is consequently designed and developed appropriately. Thanks to our Pascal, the new website is in the public domain, unrestricted and reachable at https://confronterjournal.weebly.com |
Volume 3 Number 2
June 2023 We welcome Petrus van Niekerk in the newly created end-editor post. Petrus is no stranger to us here at the magazine and we are looking forward to our next level with him on the team. We provide some views on policing in South Africa after the widely reported “blue light brigade incident” that happened on 3 July 2023 in Gauteng Province. We address the habit of the media to confuse the terms “community policing forum” and “community police forum” through an open note to Brigadier Athlenda Mathe of the South African Police Service (SAPS). |
Volume 3 Number 3
September 2023 We revisit Robert Fulghum’s All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten (1986) and ask questions. South Africa reaches position number 7 in the world (out of 193 countries) on the Organised Crime Index. We point out that 75 people are murdered per day in South Africa, in comparison to 16,6 people killed on average per day in the Russia/Ukraine conflict. |
Volume 3 Number 4
December 2023 The Confronter was published quarterly since inception. However, this edition is the last edition published quarterly. From 2024 onwards, contributions will be published on a rolling basis and distributed via email to a central address list. From 2024 onwards, these contributions (published individually on a rolling basis) will be used to compile a single volume of the journal at the end of each year. |
