Tweni Talk: Stay safe during the upcoming ‘silly season’

IT SEEMS crazy to remind everyone but the silly season is descending on us at a rate of knots, and we need to keep our wits about us by always staying vigilant. Double-lock vehicles at shopping centres, as well as in yards, do not leave valuables in sight and keep your children where you can see them.

Last Sunday, your scribe warned a father who had his back turned on his very young daughter sitting in the trolley. He had an older son with him and was obviously trying to keep an eye on his son while they waited, but there’s nothing preventing his daughter from being abducted while he was facing the other way. Also, when going to the beach leave valuables at home if possible. Don’t put yourself in a position where you do not feel safe.
