The North West Department of Human Settlements, Public Safety and Liaison has intensified its fight against crime in the Dr Segomotsi Ruth Mompati by launching the second Community Safety Forum (CSF) in the District.

The Mamusa Local Municipality CSF is expected to lay positive results in consulting and engaging communities to come up with plans to fight crime in the area as one of the government priorities.

All relevant stakeholders are involved and will work hand-in-hand with police to ensure the safety of the communities particularly the vulnerable groups.

The Departmental MEC Nono Maloyi has assured communities, all stakeholders involved and the communities at large that doors will always be opened on advices relating to crime prevention.

“Fight against crime requires full cooperation, dedication and commitment from all of us. We must take responsibility of what is happening in our communities and work with our committed men and women in blue,” said MAloyi.

According to the police report, crimes such as housebreaking, lack of social order due to liquor consumption, assaults and rape cases have been recorded in and around the Mamusa area.

The CSF is intended to identify problems such as crime hotspots and remedial actions in order to fight all forms of crime.-tdn
