he roots of crime are multi-faceted and require a multi-pronged approach. This was the gist of a R9 million safety plan presentation that the Mitchells Plain Safety and Development Forum tabled to Subcouncil 17. Forum secretary Oleander Oakes presented the plan to the councillors on Monday 16 March. She told the meeting that the forum had been formed following months of community meetings with police, the community police forums, the City and the province. “There’s been endless issues raised

within our safety structures and on the community front with regards to safety and security within Mitchells Plain,” Oakes said. The plan has five streams, including violence prevention, secure communities, effective policing, job opportunities, and leadership and skills training. FACETS OF PLAN The plan is backed by R9 million in provincial funding and designed to be community-led. It pulls together the efforts of groups, projects and faith-based organisations that are already active in
the five streams in a coordinated effort. Oakes said: “Our role is to provide strategic direction and oversight of safety and development interventions in communities as I’ve alluded to. It’s to strengthen collaboration between government departments, Saps, the City of Cape Town District, local municipalities, civil society organisations and businesses. It’s to facilitate and coordinate integrated planning, resource pooling and joint implementation of interventions. As I’ve noted, it’s a whole of government approach. TO PAGE 3
