Sanibona,
Thanks to everyone who has been sending information and
helping since the beginning of the year. A special note should go to R
Cohen who has been instrumental in getting a dilapidated and vagrant
filled house cleaned up. It's incredible how community members who walk
amongst us are willing to just leave a property to rack and ruin. To be
overrun by vagrants and become a health and safety hazard for their
neighbours. It was only due to her concerted effort that we have got
some movement from our Law enforcement (Metro) on the property in
Fairwood. We should all put pressure on our own community members that
flout laws and make our area unsafe and ugly!
Pass on any and all information that you might have or feel is necessary for us to know. All activity is intelligence driven so the more we know the more effective we, and the SAPS, can be. Please do not even hesitate, pass it on and we can make things even more wonderful than they already are!
Warning:Smash & grabs on all M1 highway offramps.There
has been a couple follow home driveway robberies. It appears as those
these persons came from shopping centre's in and from outside our area.As
we have warned before - when exiting an entering your house one must be
extra vigilant. This is where you are vulnerable. If you do feel that
you are being followed please do not drive home. Rather circle a block
to see if the car follows. If it is still following you then call the
SAPS, your private security provider, if possible, and head to the
closest police station. The vehicle will probably realize that they
have been found out and leave. Let us know of its details and we can
circulate them. And informed community is an active one!
