Let’s all join the CPF

I think we should show the criminals that not everybody in South Africa is a victim.

Every week we read about crime in Randfontein being so out of control.

I have been lucky so far since moving from Mohlakeng I have not experienced any crime, but I think that all of us should join the CPF together and help to make the community safe.

Just because I have not had crime affecting me at my home does not mean that it won’t happen.

I do not want my wife to be robbed on her way to the shop, or my children attacked on their way to the bus stop.

These are the things that happen to our neighbours every day.

Let’s take back our streets.

"Johan is an internationally published journalist and editor with extensive experience in news and industry reporting. His work has featured in numerous publications over the years. He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community. "
