Safety training benefits neighbourhood watches
This training, forms part of AfriForum’s neighbourhood watch training programme, which aims to empower community members and improve their competence in regard to conduct during a crime situation.
AfriForum’s Neighbourhood Watches on the Lower South Coast offered essential practical training in firearms handling to community members in the area last week.
This training, forms part of AfriForum’s neighbourhood watch training programme, which aims to empower community members and improve their competence in regard to conduct during a crime situation.
“We are grateful that members participated in this programme to empower themselves,” said Cliff Holme, AfriForum’s Neighbourhood Watch leader for the Lower South Coast.
“We have already presented several lectures on, among other things, the correct handling of and conduct at crime scenes, radio procedures and legal aspects regarding safety, and plan to soon offer further safety training.”
AfriForum’s Lower South Coast branch recently expanded its neighbourhood watch to the Elysium community and plans to expand even further this year.
“Due to the alarmingly high crime levels in KZN, safety and security training form an important focus of our branch,” added Theuns Boshoff, chairperson of the Lower South Coast branch.
He invites members of the community to become part of AfriForum’s safety structures in this area.
