<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nNyanga Community Policing Forum (CPF) secretary Dumisani Qwebe said the opening of a satellite police station is a breath of fresh air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the opening is part of the government\u2019s goal to bring services closer to the people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe police converted some of the City\u2019s offices into a station. It is a strategic plan to alleviate crime in the area. We believe its operation will have a positive impact on our community,\u201d said Qwebe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stated that the station would serve the entire Philippi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said according to senior police officials, the station is supposed to be officially open today (1 August). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDefinitely, it is going to be open this month. Even if not on Thursday 1 August, it will open this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople won\u2019t have to go to Nyanga Police Station for certifying their Identity Documents or opening cases. They will go to the new police station,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provincial police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa could not confirm the exact opening date for the station but stated that it would open soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She emphasised that it was a satellite police station. \u201cIt is not a fully-fledged police station. It is a satellite police station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cResidents can lodge a complaint and do other small things in Browns Farm but the system is still in Nyanga. All the cases are going to be transferred to Nyanga,\u201d said Potelwa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
