Several kilometres were covered in the respective towns where patrols took place, while altogether 398 patrollers in 237 vehicles successfully handled various incidents.

We received excellent support from the SAPS on provincial and station level. Some police stations even contacted AfriForum to enquire where and with whom they can make contact for their specific commanding region to take part.

AfriForum would like to thank each member, the SAPS and each private institution for their participation in the national mass patrol.

Contact the undersigned at 076 4271757 if you want to establish a neighbourhood or farm watch in your town, or want to get involved in AfriForum’s safety structures. Alternatively you can sms ‘Buurtwag’ to 45267 at a cost of R1 per sms.
