So CPF office bearers cannot be co-opted into executive roles while the matter is under review.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foflonker added that the station would not be without community representation, as subdistrict deputy chair Sandy Schuter-Flowers, also the Strandfontein CPF chair, would support Mitchells Plain \u201cin an administrative capacity to ensure continuity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/community-leaders-call-for-united-front-to-end-mitchells-plain-shootings\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/community-leaders-call-for-united-front-to-end-mitchells-plain-shootings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ALSO READ: Community leaders call for united front to end Mitchell\u2019s Plain shootings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keeping-mum\">Keeping mum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neighbourhood watches and other safety structures on the ground all said that they were aware of the suspension, but were not willing to go into details about what had brought it about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, Sgt Wesley Twigg of the police\u2019s provincial media office, when questioned, referred the <em>TygerBurger<\/em> to the station commander, Brig Brian Muller, who referred the paper back to Foflonker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suspended CPF chair Norman Jantjies did not respond to <em>TygerBurger<\/em>\u2019s messages but a trusted community crimefighter, closely affiliated with the CPF, told the paper on condition of anonymity, that the suspension came after a break down in communication that has been coming on for more than a year, since the station commander took office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-escalated\">Escalated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crimefighter said that CPF had escalated the matter to its superiors and to the police leadership, all the way up to the National Minister of Police, but despite several mediations and resolutions the issue remains unresolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that the suspension came as a surprise and was not in line with what the forum had been told after the most recent investigations into the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-functioning CPF acts as a bridge between the South African Police Service and local communities to address crime, enhance police accountability and improve service delivery collaboratively. CPFs foster partnerships, facilitate information sharing and develop, monitor and evaluate crime-prevention initiatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitchells Plain CPF executive committee suspended by subdistrict board chair.
