16 January 2025- The ZF Mgcawu District Community Police Forum, in conjunction with the SAPS and KDHT Investments, visited the Riemvasmaak area to give back to the community on 15 January 2025. During previous interventions on crime by the district management in the Riemvasmaak area, shortcomings were identified emanating from socio-economic challenges.
The ZF Mgcawu District police spokesperson, Sergeant Omphile Masegela said consequently, the Community Police Forum (CPF) initiated a community outreach programme to address some of the challenges. Masegela said the police, CPF, and KDHT Investments company, jointly donated 100 food hampers to the identified beneficiaries in the Sending and Vredesvallei area.
“The programme was attended by the ZFM District Commissioner, Major General Monica Sebili and her management team, the District CPF Chairperson, Clement Baai and local CPF, the ward councillor, Ethel Vass and the team from KDHT Investments company as sponsors of the programme.
“The two-phase programme was opened with devotion and prayer by Employee Health and Wellness, Chaplain Sekopane Mosetlhe and Mario Titus. Sebili delivered the keynote address during which she indicated that the police can never work in isolation,” she said.
Masegela said therefore Sebili adopted Riemvasmaak to ensure that the relationship between the police, the community through the CPF, local NGOs, and the business sector is maintained. She further requested the community to work with the police and with each other in the fight against crime.
