Thank you for making this possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CPF deputy chair Venessa Adriaanse says the community took full advantage of the opportunity to address their concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents commended Brig Sanela Zama for serving the community well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heideveld is part of the Manenberg policing precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gun-wielding gunmen running the streets, gender-based violence, robberies, breaking into places of worship, lack of programmes for seniors and youths and general crime and gangsterism were some of the main concerns raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radley Petersen, chair of the Manenberg neighbourhood watch forum says safety and security is top of everyone\u2019s priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs neighbourhood watches, we feel undervalued, underappreciated. We feel like we are always a last resort, where we feel we should be on the top of the list, as police are,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following around two hours of listening to residents\u2019 concerns and comments, Mathale also encouraged residents to make their marks for any party they feel will do best for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This engagement follows a promise made at an unannounced visit to a Heideveld informal settlement in the area several weeks ago by Mathale, where residents encouraged him to return for a formal visit, allowing the residents to have their say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He commended the community for their organised nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou are organised, and when you are organised, you can defeat anything. Where there is leadership, there is order and there is leadership here,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith leaders like you, we can achieve more. Let us work together to do more in serving our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy police minister Cassel Mathale led a community crime prevention imbizo for
