Festive message from Mondeor SAPS

JOHANNESBURG SOUTH – Mondeor SAPS Colonel J.J. Bezuidenhoudt has the following message for southern residents as the festive season is upon us and some families will be going away on holiday, while others will remain at home.

“2013 is almost at its end and we should agree that it was one of the most challenging years since my arrival at Mondeor. The levels of crime, even those crimes that show a decrease, can never be accepted in a modern society,” said Colonel Bezuidenhoudt.

“However, I still draw inspiration, with a great deal of gratitude, from a vibrant and participative community in the South. The community at large, the Community Policing Forum, Sector Forums, Community Patrollers, councillors, security companies and other stakeholders are appreciated and saluted for their valuable contributions towards the awareness campaigns, crime prevention initiatives and service delivery during the past year,” he added.

“I also would like to give special thanks to the local media for the role they have played in binding this community together. I’m of the opinion that the media realises that no criminal is bigger than any community that stands together as one.”

“My plea is that we in the Mondeor policing precinct care about each other. Encourage each other to be safe on the roads during this festive period and not to drink and drive.”

The Mondeor SAPS want to take this opportunity to wish all families in the South, together with my staff, a Merry Christmas and blessed 2014.
