SAPS hosts crime awareness campaign
KwaDabeka SAPS held a motorcade to create awareness against crime.
VARIOUS stakeholders, NGOs and the community, including a number of foreign nationals, joined hands with KwaDabeka SAPS in a motorcade to create awareness against crime in the area on Sunday.
This follows escalating robberies of small businesses and related incidences of xenophobic attacks.
KwaDabeka SAPS communications officer, W/O Sibusiso Ngcobo, said they are concerned about criminal activity in the area and attacks on foreign nationals.
“The community needs to be tolerant towards one another. No one deserves to be ill-treated just because they are foreigners. We want to let the criminals know that we won’t tolerate crime in this area.”
Ngcobo also urged the community to work together with police and report crime.
Various organisations and groups supported the campaign, namely Community Safety and Liaison, Metro Police, Safer City, Community Participation, I Care, Clermont KwaDabeka Taxi Association, Community Police Forum and Constituency Officer of the Office of the Premier, Cyril Xaba.
