Burglars broke into my mother’s house on 23 April at about 3am.

I called the Randfontein SAPS to investigate at about 8am on Tuesday morning.

Upon their arrival at the scene, the police asked me what had happened, and I explained to them what the situation was.

However, they did not get out of their vehicle to investigate the scene or to take fingerprints, as I explained to them that nothing has been
stolen.

The police were not very helpful and cooperative.

I truly want something to be done about this matter because this is an elderly person’s home and these incidents put her life and other elderly people’s lives in jeopardy.

I really would appreciate it if someone can get back to me regarding situations such as these.

"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. "
