Alex braces for new CPF
ALEXANDRA – A date will be announced soon for the CPF elections.
The Alex Community Policing Forum, which was disbanded late last year, will be replaced by new executive members on an election date to be announced soon. The process has been set in motion by the recent election of 19 members each, to its four subforums.
The forum’s executive members are;
Sector One
Chairperson: Obed Makondo
Deputy chairperson: Blessing Gina
Secretary: Nomawethu Cokile
Deputy secretary: Lettie Madubanya
Sector Two
Chairperson: Paul Moloka
Deputy chairperson: Vincent Zwane
Secretary: Joseph Monyai
Deputy secretary: Nomoya Twala
Sector Three
Chairperson: Sibongile Nkabinde
Deputy chairperson: Norman Maila
Secretary: Veronica Mabilu
Deputy secretary: Phanuel Manganyi
Sector Four
Chairperson: Nelly Maseki
Deputy chairperson: Karel Monyapeo
Secretary: Elvis Maseko
Deputy secretary: Toppy Matseke
The subforum members are hoping to make an incremental impact from where their predecessors left off. Police spokesperson, Captain Allie Kodisang said this involves working as patrollers alongside police officers on anti-crime operations and proactive crime awareness campaigns through school visits and encouraging public and police collaboration in reporting, apprehending and ensuring successful prosecutions through water tight evidence gathering.
Some of the patrollers said they were eager for the task they said will include tackling illegal shebeens, contact crime, in particular, assaults and domestic violence they said was rife between lovers, drunken rowdiness particularly on weekends and other organised crimes.
They also expressed readiness for their task after being trained in community safety, legal principles, high-risk security issues, intelligence gathering, search and seize limitations and on-road traffic regulations.
