REMINDER:
Domestic Worker's Forum
Please encourage your
staff to attend. Their interaction and co-operation with our Sector Police is
critical to fighting crime in Southbroom.
Southbroom Community
Centre at 13h00 on Friday 17 September 2010
UPDATE:
UIP Voting
Process
Southbroom has returned a majority vote
in favour of the continuation of the 'Special Rating Area'.
Of the 1069 Southbroom properties,
660 (61.7%) votes were received:
> 603 (56.4%) in favour;
> 57 (5.3%) against.
We thank the Southbroom community for
their continued support of this initiative.
The matter will be on the HCM Council
Agenda on 31 August 2010.
NEW PREMISES:
Southbroom
Sector Police Station
Our Community Police Station will be
relocated from Imbezane Road to the Southbroom Community Centre in the near
future.
This decision was taken in response to
constructive criticism received during the UIP voting process.
The new location will improve
visibility and place our Sector Policing operation in the heart of the village.
Furthermore, SAPS Reservists appointed
to man the telephones will receive additional training to ensure good telephone
technique, improved diction, and sound knowledge of the Southbroom street names
and network.
The ex-Police Station premises will
serve as the Community Centre.
PLEASE HELP: Criminals need
to be convicted
Our police risk their lives to arrest crime suspects but they keep on having to
let them go free!
Why?
Because we, the complainants, are often not prepared to give witness in court
and, without our testimony, suspects walk free.
This might be because our permanent residence is not in Southbroom and, having
received the insurance replacement, its both cost and inconvenience to return
down south? We possibly also dread wasting our time in court and fear that,
having made the effort, the case might be postponed?
The police have assured us that, when an out of town witness is present, the
case will proceed even if only to receive their testimony.
The police need all the assistance we can give them to rid our streets of
criminals. Please make every effort to help them - see your case through.
SAPS has advised that, in an effort to 'encourage' witnesses to appear, in future stolen
goods will only be returned to the rightful owner after the court case.
