Sponsors monitor CPF progress
“They found that all the equipment is still functional and is being utilised."
Emperor’s Palace, and other sponsoring stake holders, visited the Community Policing Forum’s (CPF) patrollers at the Tembisa SAPS offices on August 21.
The chairperson of the CPF, Mr Sandile Mdluli, said the sponsors wanted to see if the equipment they donated is being used and taken care of.
“They found that all the equipment is still functional and is being utilised. Most importantly, the patrollers are joining together in large numbers to fight crime. We are appealing to the community to come forward and volunteer so that we can reclaim the streets from criminals,” said Mr Mdluli.
According to Mr Mdluli, the donation allowed the CPF patrollers to patrol in clothing other than their personal clothing.
“Reflectors differentiate the patrollers from ordinary civilians. Without two-way radios, the patrollers couldn’t communicate with the police station and the sector vehicle,” he said.
“We want to thank the sponsors. Their involvement means a lot to us,” said Mr Mdluli.
“Anyone with information crime or corruption can contact the Provincial Duty General on 082 323 8299,” said Captain Manyadza Ralidzhivha.
