19 May 2025:<\/strong> Community Notice:\u00a0<\/strong>Tenant screening & Crime prevention
It has come to our attention that some property owners renting out houses, cottages, or rooms on a long-term basis are not taking the necessary steps to properly screen tenants. In certain cases, this has led to individuals with known criminal records being housed in our village, contributing to the past and current incidents of crime in Bathurst, especially in Sector 2.
We urge all landlords to take this seriously. By failing to screen tenants, you unintentionally create safe havens for those harming your community.
If you are a landlord, please:
* Request valid identification and proof of income
* Run basic background or reference checks
* Avoid cash-only arrangements with no paper trail
* Know your rights and obligations under South African rental law<\/p>\r\n

14 April 2025: Safety Officer Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to the CPSF Sector 2 Safety Officer Initiative. With long weekends and a busy season ahead, it\u2019s more important than ever that we act swiftly \u2013 while still being mindful that good things take time.<\/p>\r\n

Securing the right service provider and a suitable, trustworthy person for this role is key to the success and long-term sustainability of this project. We appreciate your ongoing patience as we work through this process.<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udea8 We\u2019re excited to share that we\u2019ve surpassed our initial fundraising goal of R6,000!
This will help us launch a 2-month trial phase of the Safety Officer project.<\/p>\r\n

\u2705 To ensure continuity beyond the trial period, we kindly ask that you keep contributing monthly if possible.<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udca1 If you’re unable to contribute financially, there are other meaningful ways to help \u2013 for example:
– Offering a meal once a month to the Safety Officer
– Volunteering just 5 minutes of your time to help fast-track any tasks
– Helping us spread the word about the initiative<\/p>\r\n

Creative contributions are just as valuable. This is a team effort, and it\u2019s our collective community support that will make the real difference!<\/p>\r\n

At present, we\u2019re waiting to hear back from three companies\/entities that we’ve approached to assist with sourcing the right candidate. We\u2019ll keep you updated as soon as the next steps are confirmed.<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udd0d Reminder: What is the goal of our Safety Officer?
– To deter unwanted or suspicious behaviour in the CBD and surrounding village
– To be our eyes and ears on the ground
– To act as a transparent link to SAPS
– To minimise cash exchange on the streets, which can fuel substance abuse and other criminal activity
– To offer visitors and residents a safe alternative for making meaningful contributions through verified outreach programs<\/p>\r\n

Please continue to use your discretion when interacting with car guards \u2013 by now, many of you have a good sense of who engages respectfully and who doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\r\n

26 March 2025: CPF Meeting Feedback \u2013 Community Update<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Summary of key points from our informal CPF meeting yesterday, 25 March 2025 at Freestone Stadium, Nolukhanyo:<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udd39 Crime Statistics (Since 1 March 2025)
A total of 33 cases have been reported across Sector 1 and Sector 2, including:
– 13 house break-ins and thefts
– Other cases: rape, assault, possession of stolen goods, obstruction of justice, and fraud<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udd39 Concerning Trends
One of the major challenges we face is that local residents are buying stolen goods, directly fueling criminal activity. If there is no market for stolen items, criminals lose their incentive to steal. We urge everyone not to support crime by purchasing suspicious goods\u2014if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is!<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udd39 Repeat Offenders & Justice System Concerns
Despite multiple arrests, we are noticing a disturbing trend: repeat offenders are being released on bail \/ parole without SAPS being informed. This lack of communication blindsides both law enforcement and the community.<\/p>\r\n

Additionally, parole officers are failing to follow up on released individuals, allowing criminals to return to their old ways unchecked.<\/p>\r\n

\u26a0 Important Note: SAPS does not have the power to withdraw cases\u2014this falls under the jurisdiction of Correctional Services, the Prosecutor, and the Court Manager. The breakdown in communication between the Department of Justice, SAPS, and the community means that we are often unaware that the same criminals are being released time and again.<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udd39 Next Steps: A Public Meeting
To address these critical issues, we are planning to organise a public meeting, inviting key decision-makers from the justice system to explain how they expect us to fight crime when repeat offenders are continuously released\u2014regardless of the severity of their crimes. Any one with more information or who can offer support regarding this matter, please let us know.<\/p>\r\n

\ud83d\udd39 Community Action & Solidarity
While arrests are happening, our work doesn\u2019t stop there. We must stand together, build trust, and remain vigilant. By working as a united community, we can root out criminals, ensure proper convictions, and push for a system that keeps repeat offenders behind bars.<\/p>\r\n

Your ongoing support and awareness are vital to making Bathurst safer. Thank you for your commitment to our community.<\/p>\r\n

Stay alert, stay safe, and stand together!<\/p>\r\n

12th March 2025:<\/strong>\u00a0Car Guard Solution<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Following our meeting with Ndlambe By-Law officer Sipho Vilezantsi \u2014 as mentioned in our March newsletter \u2014 we\u2019re now at the point where we can start building the funds to employ a Safety Officer for the CBD area.<\/p>\r\n

Mr. Vilezantsi confirmed:
– It is illegal for anyone other than SAPS or traffic officers to direct traffic.
– It is illegal to loiter or trade on public roads.
He will personally issue fines to those breaking these by-laws, and if unpaid, a warrant for arrest will follow.<\/p>\r\n

Together with our Safety Officer initiative, we aim to:
1. Deter unwanted “car guards.”
2. Increase visible safety in the CBD.
3. Reduce money exchanges between beggars\/car guards and the public.<\/p>\r\n

However, this is only part of the solution. Giving small change to beggars or car guards fuels the problem, and it will take more than just us to educate residents and visitors not to support this behavior.<\/p>\r\n

We now ask for your help:
1. Commit to a monthly contribution \u2014 any amount you can afford \u2014 to support this initiative.
2. Stand with the CPF in discouraging handouts to beggars, loiterers, or “car guards.”<\/p>\r\n

Our goal is to gather enough funds for a 3-month trial run to assess the impact of this initiative.<\/p>\r\n

How to contribute: While we work on setting up the CPF bank account, installments can be made into the BRRA account:
– Bank: First National Bank\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 – Branch Code: 250655
– Account No: 63003349453\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0– Reference: CPF(SO)[Your Name]<\/p>\r\n

This group remains open for suggestions, but please only stay if you intend to contribute financially. By remaining in this group, you confirm your support for this cause.
Thank you for being part of the solution – Danie<\/p>\r\n

Proposal for Safety \/ Security Officer for the CBD<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

On the 18th of January 2025, the CPSF Sector 2 facilitated a workshop aimed at addressing the ongoing challenges and concerns related to car guards in our village.<\/p>\r\n

Community Concerns: The primary issues voiced by residents include the presence of unregulated car guards, aggressive behavior, potential involvement in illegal activities, and the overall impact on the safety and perception of our village.<\/p>\r\n

The outcome of the workshop is a draft proposal for a Visitor Welcoming and Safety Initiative. The key components include:
1. Appointment of a Security Officer<\/em><\/strong>: \u00a0A uniformed individual stationed in the CBD to provide assistance, deter misconduct, and act as a liaison with SAPS and security services. \u00a0Funded through community contributions, managed transparently via the BR&RA account.
2. Community Awareness and Support:<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0Educational campaigns to discourage direct donations to unregulated car guards. Encouragement of donations to CPF initiatives instead, through branded boxes or EFT payments.
3. Future Potential:<\/em><\/strong> Expansion of the initiative to include broader security measures as it proves effective and gains support.<\/p>\r\n

Visitor welcoming and Safety Initiative<\/strong> – see details here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

Request for Feedback: <\/strong><\/em>We are now at a stage where your input is crucial. Please review the attached proposal with the following in mind:
\u25cf Does the proposal address the concerns of various community demographics (e.g., elderly residents, business owners, families, etc.)?
\u25cf Are there any aspects that may require further refinement or clarification?
\u25cf Are there additional elements or considerations that should be included before presenting this to the wider community?
Next Steps:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>After incorporating your feedback, we aim to finalize the proposal and present it to our local private security companies as well as SAPS for implementation. Your perspective and expertise are essential to ensuring the success of this initiative. Thank you.<\/p>\r\n

3rd February 2025: <\/strong>Information session with Roger Ralph – Security Enhancements & Recommendations – see details here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n

The CPSF S2 is inviting all residents to download the Zello PTT app which can be used for immediate response and support from neighbours nearby. Please join the Zello Tech support group<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. if you require assistance in onboarding.<\/p>\r\n

27th January 2025:<\/strong> \ud83d\udea8 CPSF Sector 2 Security Warning<\/em><\/strong>\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\r\n

We have received reports of increased activity during the night and early morning hours in the Block 3, Elizabeth Road, Kings Road and York street areas. With one successful break-in in Kings road this morning.<\/p>\r\n

Perpetrator(s) appear to be on foot, moving from house to house, checking for entry points with the intent to steal electronics such as laptops and phones.<\/p>\r\n

Unfortunately, some known criminals have been released and have been spotted walking the streets during the day, likely observing and identifying potential targets.<\/p>\r\n

We urge everyone to remain vigilant and take extra precautions until a more concrete solution is in place. In the meantime:
\u2fe1 Report any suspicious activity to your block WhatsApp groups.
\u2fe2 Notify SAPS immediately of any criminal activity.
\u2fe3 Look out for your neighbors and help keep the community alert.<\/p>\r\n

August 2024<\/strong>: Bathurst Village has now got its own CPF!<\/p>\r\n

What a huge step forward for our village. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Chris Boyd for taking the first (of many) steps to get the CPF off the ground despite many challenges and for always being available to offer advice when needed. A special thanks also to George Kukulies for his hands-on support to create a and lead the elections and for leading the CPF in the right direction. For the first CPF communication letter, please click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As part of the CPF\u2019s mission to initiate and support workshops that contribute to creating a safe and secure community environment, we are pleased to present Marcia Moon\u2019s Investigation Workshop. After meeting with Marcia, we discussed the structure and outcomes of the workshop to ensure its relevance to us here in Bathurst.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Currently, as we are just beginning with the CPF, we do not have the funds to offer this workshop for free to everyone. However, we are actively looking into funding opportunities to support future workshops and make them more accessible to all.<\/p>\r\n

Our continuous plan of action is to gather as much information about any suspicious activity by reporting it to the police and adding it to our database. More information regarding how to add it to our database will follow. By doing so, we can establish the what\u2019s, the where\u2019s, and the how\u2019s.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
