The installation of fence around the Plattekloof Natural Heritage Site which borders Welgelegen, Edgemead, Bothasig, Kleinbosch and Monte Vista, has been completed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natural heritage site is located on Eskom property and the fence project was done in partnership with the electricity supplier and local community organisations.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November last year TygerBurger<\/em> reported on the project which was started in 2023. Back then Steve Maritz, chair of the Edgemead Neighbourhood Watch (ENW), said that since the start of the installation of the fence, there had been a definite reduction in crime. He said the fence project had been a gamechanger and that it had played a significant role in reducing crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The natural heritage site has been used as a hideout by some vagrants and criminals who targeted houses located next to the reserve.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the project has been underway several clean-ups had been conducted as well as a fire break installed. The local neighbourhood watch organisations have also discovered several fauna and flora species, unique to the area.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fence project was done over five phases and last week Maritz confirmed that the last section of the project along Plattekloof Road and between Plattekloof Road and Giel Basson Drive have been completed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The section of the fencing project between Kleinbosch and Welgelegen between Giel Basson Drive and Plattekloof Road commenced on 24 March and good progress has been made with only the bottom kerbing and anti-climb razor wire top to be installed,” says Maritz.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project was driven by ENW on behalf of the Plattekloof Welgelegen Panorama Neighbourhood Watch based on the success of the initial section between the Eskom Acacia Substation and Giel Basson Drive, which has seen a definite reduction in crime in the area, as well as an increase in fauna and flora in the natural heritage, Maritz explains.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martiz says ENW was approached to assist with getting the latest fencing project off the ground, based on the success of the initial project, and the good working relationship which had been developed between ENW and Eskom.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Eskom management for their co-operation to ensure the safety and security of their property. Residents and neighbourhood watches are grateful as this massive security and safety risk is finally being addressed,” says Maritz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
