CANDLELIGHT VIGIL HELD
LAUREN.OCONNOR-MAY@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA
festive event last week was peppered with words of caution and encouragement. The Mitchell’s Plain Community Policing Forum (CPF) and their religious fraternity partners held a carols by candlelight karaoke sing-along on Thursday 11 December at Cedar High School Hall. Mitchell’s Plain police station commander Brig Brian Muller told the assembly to “embrace the spirit of the season”. Speaking on his behalf in his absence, Capt Ian Williams said: “I called the station commander and asked him what he wanted to say to you tonight because he could not be here and he said: ‘I wish for the community of Mitchell’s Plain just to embrace the spirit of the season’,” Williams said. “For me that means we should seek to be reunited and to come together to engage and seek common ground,” he said. He added that during this holiday period, police work harder than ever.
“We do more patrols. There are more road blocks and beach patrols,” he said, adding that there was usually an exponential increase in crime during this period. He encouraged the community to change that tide by “extending the hand of forgiveness and hope”. “Then others will follow suit,” he said. CPF chair Norman Janjies echoed his words but also added a note of caution. “We have a common enemy and that is crime and gangsterism and drugs,” he said. Janjies said that between April and September there had been 90 murders in Mitchells Plain. “Most recent was the mass murder,” he said, referring to the incident where three people were killed, including a nine-yearold boy, when armed men entered the house where they were and shot them.
