Members of AfriForum\u2019s Meyerspark branch concluded a successful town patrol on 16\u00a0October 2017, which also included a clean-up action. The good work was repeated on 17\u00a0October when the neighbourhood watch apprehended a suspected dustbin thief. The neighbourhood watch is active in among others Meyerspark, Equestria, Silverton and Silverton Extensions 6 en 8.<\/p>\n
During the clean-up operation, all illegal posters and stickers on lampposts were removed, which resulted in about four bakkie loads of rubbish. The dustbin thief was handed over to the SAPS, who opened a case against him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are here to make a tangible difference and want to cooperate continuously with other safety structures to ensure the security of our area,\u201d says Andre Badenhorst, Chairman for Safety at AfriForum\u2019s Meyerspark branch.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeighbourhood watches are there to support the local SAPS and to help mobilise the community in emergency situations. This is a very good example of the importance of such cooperation,\u201d says Lambert de Klerk, AfriForum\u2019s District Coordinator for Gauteng.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
