SAPS plan for next crime imbizo in Durban North

The imbizo is a way for residents and roleplayers to voice their concerns or address service delivery issues to the SAPS.

THE Durban North SAPS has invited the community to its next imbizo on Thursday, October 30 (17:00 for 17:15 start) at the Virginia Wings Club, Virginia Airport.

According to the SAPS the imbizo is a way for residents and roleplayers to voice their concerns or address service delivery issues to the SAPS.

At the last imbizo, held in uMhlanga, residents voiced their frustrations over by-law transgressions, reckless and negligent driving and nuisance vehicles.

Metro Police will also be in attendance.

Spokesperson for the Durban North SAPS, Sergeant Nonhlanhla Shozi, explained the community will be afforded an opportunity to raise concerns and question the SAPS officials.

“It also gives us an opportunity to speak to residents about crime trends and other issues. What we continue to experience is fraud cases when purchasing things online and the prevalent bank scam where people are tricked into revealing their PIN and personal information to people purporting to be from the bank,” she said.

The station previously hosted five community engagements but poor attendance has seen them shift meeting times to the evening.
