This marks positive steps to building a promising future for the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality,\u201d she said. Perumal highlighted that this initiative represents a crucial partnership between various sectors, coming together to enhance community safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MBDA CEO, Anele Qaba, elaborated on the agency\u2019s mandate to pursue Urban Renewal Initiatives in the inner cities of Gqeberha and Kariega. He stressed that the goal is to ensure these economic hubs are clean, safe, and contribute positively to the economy of Nelson Mandela Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter careful consideration, consultations, and planning, it became necessary for the MBDA to review its security strategy in order to deal decisively with crime in mandate areas of Gqeberha CBD, Kariega CBD, and NMB Stadium Precinct,\u201d Qaba explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new security strategy involves a smart, hybrid approach, deemed essential owing to the current climate in which crime deters investment. High crime levels in the inner city have led to businesses struggling and disinvestment, exacerbating the already high unemployment rate. \u201cWe looked at the traditional way of approaching safety and security and found that on its own, it\u2019s simply not effective,\u201d Qaba revealed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_7ad3379a\">\n<div class=\"text\">Intelligent technology needs to work hand-in-hand with the boots on the ground to ensure the safety of residents. This way, the tourism sector will begin to flourish, students will be safer, and residents will not only feel more comfortable, but will fall in love with their city again.<\/div>\n<div class=\"citation\">Qaba<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The smart hybrid security programme includes boots on the ground (security guards), a response vehicle and CCTV cameras and monitoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qaba reassured residents of Kariega, Despatch, and KwaNobuhle that their safety is a priority. \u201cProblem areas in that region will be identified, and the programme will be rolled out there too,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Executive Mayor, Gary Van Niekerk, expressed his excitement about the initiative, noting that he had informed Eastern Cape Premier, Oscar Mabuyane, who shares his enthusiasm. \u201cWhen it comes to fighting crime, partnership is important because it negatively affects all of us. When it comes to criminals, an us <em>vs<\/em> them approach is needed \u2013 us, preventers of crime, and them, the criminals,\u201d Van Niekerk remarked. He commended the MBDA for its swift implementation and encouraged continued efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>112 New cameras have been installed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 112 is in addition to over 70 cameras installed by MBDA partners <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several have face recognition capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several have licence plate recognition capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All footage is recorded and kept as per security protocols<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Control Room will be monitored on a 24\/7 basis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NMU intends to add capacity to this programme for the safety of off-campus students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_ddcf4d0e\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12412\/4ef50f8addef466a9d7879e8b9acee52.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/udexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/372f8db060514111a0484bd7930dea88.jpg\" title=\"Various stakeholders were present at the launch.
