Peace of mind
An illegal dumper was fined R2 000 and his vehicle impounded after he was caught dumping refuse near Lakeview Pan, Bedelia. The swift response from the neighbourhood watch and Matjhabeng bylaws enforcement team on Sunday, 2 February, ensured that the illegal dumper was immediately brought to book. Reports surfaced on neighbourhood watch groups regarding illegal dumping activity in progress near the pan in Long Road. “Members of the neighbourhood watch promptly responded and went to the scene, where they spotted the vehicle leaving the area. They
followed the vehicle to the town centre and requested the owner to return and remove the refuse he had dumped. “The individual refused to comply, prompting the patrol members to contact the Community Policing Forum (CPF) control room for bylaws enforcement assistance,” says a spokesperson for the neighbourhood watch. Following an intervention, the vehicle owner returned to the site. “The offender was issued a fine of R2 000, and the vehicle was impounded. “The owner is required to settle the fine to reclaim the vehicle. Failure to do so will result in an additional storage fee of R150 per day until the fine is paid in full.”
Joint efforts restrict criminal presence Marti Will marti.will@media24.com
The residents of Naudeville, Welkom, can now sleep peacefully after the installation of 13 new closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras to improve security and help with crime prevention. This initiative, driven by the Community Policing Forum (CPF) Sector 3, in partnership with the Welkom police, aims to strengthen law enforcement capabilities and improve community safety. The newly installed surveillance system will help monitor key areas, deter criminal
activities and provide valuable evidence for investigations, which is an important step in fighting crime in the area. The project is a step forward in strengthening security in Naudeville, with plans to extend coverage to the Welkom CBD and other neighbourhoods in the near future. Brig. Disebo Cezula praised the CPF’s collaboration with the Welkom police and expressed gratitude to residents who have private CCTV cameras, which play a crucial role in assisting law enforcement with crime prevention. “The Welkom police remain committed to promoting strong
partnerships with the community to create a safer living environment for everyone,” she said. Dirk Kotze, CPF chairman of Welkom, congratulated sector 3 on this achievement and emphasised the positive impact of collective responsibility to ensure a safer environment. The launch of the CCTV project on 29 January was attended by sector 3 committee members including Bonny Alfirs, Michael Harcombe, Alno Crous, Basil Gillfillen and Capt. Andries Coetzee, who is a police sector representative – all instrumental in making this initiative a success.
