Wat beteken \u2019n gebroke gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum (GPF) vir \u2019n gebied soos Macassar? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die is een van talle vrae wat gevra word oor Macassar se GPF, wat nou slegs uit twee lede bestaan nadat die voorsitter, onder-voorsitter, kassier en kommunikasiebeampte almal nie meer deel van die GPF is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russel Williams, die voormalige kommunikasiebeampte van die Macassar-GPF en ook \u2019n vurige gemeenskapsaktivis, s\u00ea hy is geskors omdat sy gedrag \u201cnie na wense\u201d was nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Williams is een van verskeie ander wat op Maandag 14 Augustus tydens \u2019n GPF-vergadering geskors is. Ander lede insluitend Rhoda-Ann Bazier, wat vroe\u00ebr vanjaar nog die voorsitter van die Macassar-GPF was, het bedank. \u201cEk het bedank nadat \u2019n oukeigegee is aan \u2019n kontrakteur om die salaris van werkers in \u2019n rekening van die GPF in te betaal. Dit was oneties. N\u00e1 \u2019n vergadering het die lid wat die besluit gemaak het, verskoning gevra vir die voorval,\u201d verduidelik Bazier. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy het voorts ges\u00ea dat sy haar egter weens daardie besluit nie meer as lid van die GPF kon ag nie. Bazier se klagte asook heelwat andere is aan die GPF se provinsiale struktuur geopper wat teen Maandag 14 Augustus daarop reageer het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPastoor Mark Baatjies, Rosie Sampson en Russel Williams het glo uit die vergadering gestap. N\u00e1 die vergadering het die provinsiale GPF-struktuur skorsingsbriewe aan hulle gestuur,\u201d voeg sy by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Francina Lucas, die voorsitter van die GPF se provinsiale raad, het bevestig dat Macassar-GPF, wat tans net twee lede het, nie funksioneel is nie, want twee lede alleenlik kan nie \u2019n kworum vorm nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy het bygevoeg dat \u2019n aantal bedankings by die Macassar-GPF plaasgevind het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Williams, wat onlangs die nuus ontvang het dat hy tydelik geskors is, is van mening dat kommunikasie by die GPF ontbreek. \u201cEk dien al drie termyne in die GPF en in al daardie tyd het ek agtergekom dat \u2019n vennootskap tussen die polisie en die GPF ontbreek. Ek het my in \u2019n vergadering daaroor uitgespreek, en toe word ek tydelik geskors omdat my gedrag \u2018nie na wense\u2019 was nie. Maar ek het n\u00earens \u2019n oproering veroorsaak nie. Ek verwag om \u2019n openbare verskoning te ontvang, want wat hulle gedoen het, was nie reg nie,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Anonieme bronne wat hul naam wil beskerm weens vrese oor vervolging of afdreiging, het ges\u00ea die drie lede wat geskors is, het 21 dae tyd om op hul skorsingsbriewe te antwoord met redes waarom hulle nie geskors moet word nie. \u201cDie drie het nou \u2019n brief aan die departement van gemeenskapsveiligheid geskryf, en nou moet ons wag om te sien wat gebeur. Die polisiekluster en die GPF se provinsiale raad moet die saak hanteer. Ek dink hulle wil vure probeer doodslaan maar \u2019n mens slaan nie vure so dood nie,\u201d vertel \u2019n anonieme bron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucas stem saam dat \u2019n dringende ingryping moet plaasvind, want misdaad vind steeds elke dag plaas in \u2019n gemeenskap wat nou sonder \u2019n funksionele GPF sit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNog \u2019n vergadering is op Donderdag 14 September gehou. Die proses is nou aan die gang om \u2019n spesiale algemene vergadering in Macassar te re\u00ebl. Ons gaan na die gemeenskap uitreik om deel te word en by die GPF aan te sluit. Ons soek mense wat toegewyd is en wat die belange van die gemeenskap eerste stel. Ons het die afgelope paar jaar \u2019n onstabiliteit in Macassar se GPF ervaar, en die een faktor wat uitstaan, is as jy jouself bereid stel om op die GPF te staan, jy dit met volharding sal doen en sonder enige voorwaardes in die GPF sal dien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs mense uit die gemeenskap nie aansluit nie, gaan ons altyd verloor en die misdadigers gaan altyd wen,\u201d voeg Lucas by. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wat beteken \u2019n gebroke gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum (GPF) vir \u2019n gebied soos Macassar?
