The meeting place was at the green tuckshop in Sportsville, Lower Illovo. The neighbourhood-watch public relations officer, Austin Gounden, said they were joined by members of the community, ET Rapid Response, Community Crime Prevention Organisation Amanzimtoti (CCPO), Blue Security-Durban, Amanzimtoti police station and ACPF.
“The aim was to create visibility within the area and to show criminals that our area is well-covered and that we are in partnership with our stakeholders,” he said.
The neighbourhood watch currently has 20 patrollers and needs more volunteers/residents to sign up and make a difference in their community.
“Together, a community is much stronger. Sugar is sweet, we won’t sleep, not until crime is stopped on the streets,” said Gounden.
