Let us look out for each other

While crime is no respecter of people, I must say the female gender has come under increased attack.

Many may be asking when this slaughter will end or slow down. The truth is no one has the answer.

When this question is put to the relevant authorities, the reply most of the time is that they are doing their best and the crime rate is of great concern to them.

I believe citizens need to take a different approach, we need more than ever to look out for each other. What do I mean by this? We need to have each other’s phone number in case of emergency. If there are strangers or vehicles that are not from your neighbourhood, discreetly observe their movement.

Did anyone see anything suspicious involving the mother and daughter who where murdered and said nothing? We need to work together, especially on our street or neighbourhood. Who knows, if we all adopt this attitude, what crime we may prevent or whose life we may save.

In the war against crime we are all involved.

We must be part of the solution. Let us look out for each other.
