Eastern Cape Safety and Liaison and Police roll out social crime prevention programme in Cradock, 20 Sept

A plan to overcome rampant criminal activities in Cradock

The Department of Safety and Liaison (DSL) in collaboration with the South African Police Service (SAPS) and other key important stakeholders will be rolling out a massive social crime prevention programme in Cradock. This came about as a result of rampant criminal activities that have become so widespread in the township of Cradock.  The criminal activities that are rife in the area range from theft, assaults, rape to abuse of women and children in the area.

This wave of crime has emanated from substance abuse, and has contributed to a myriad of social-ills in the area.     

“In this regard, as the Department of Safety and Liaison, we are calling upon all members of the community in the area, to refrain from embarking on criminal activities, instead they should become integral partners of government in the fight against crime. As government we came to a realization that alone we cannot win the fight against crime without the support of the communities. Communities should now take centre stage and assist the government in exposing a criminal behaviour so that the people could live in peace and harmony with one another.”

Members of the Media Fraternity are hereby invited to come and cover the programme.

The programme is scheduled as follows:
Date: 20 September 2019 (Friday)
Time: 11h00
Venue: Lingelihle Community Hall (Cradock)
