Misdaad is lank nie meer net die polisie se probleem nie en dus het inwoners van Vredenburg besluit om iets aan die saak in hul buurt te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die lede van die Esperia-buurtwag het op 1 Maart hul buurtwag op die been gebring met Freddie Smook en Cornie du Plessis wat baie vinnig, verskeie ywerige inwoners aan boord gekry het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die groep s\u00ea hul hoofdoel is om die buurt veilig en skoon te hou, vandaar hul leuse: \u201cOm jou buurt veiliger en skoner te maak\u201d.Vinnig werk, vinnig verander<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In minder as vier maande het die bestuurspan van agt lede reeds groot hoogtes bereik. Samewerkingsooreenkomste met verskeie ander buurtwagte, die plaaslike polisie, die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit (SBM), die gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum en sekerheidsfirmas is reeds daargestel en werk baie goed, s\u00ea die span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die buurtwag gebruik WhatsApp-groepe om buurtwaglede in te lig en op hoogte te hou van wat alles in hul buurt aangaan. Die groep maak dit ook moontlik vir buurtwaglede om vinnig probleme of noodgevalle te rapporteer vir spoedige en doeltreffende reaksie deur Esperia-buurtwag se patrollielede, ander buurtwagte, die polisie en selfs sekerheidsmaatskappye wat almal ook op die groepe is.Lede keer die gekonkel in die donker <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c \u2019n Patrolliediens wat elke nag van die week funksioneer en reeds \u2019n hele aantal verdagte persone suksesvol hanteer het en sodoende inbrake en des moontlik ander misdade verhoed het, is vinnig op die been gebring,\u201d verduidelik Du Plessis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die span het ook gevind dagpatrollies \u201cverrig wondere\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benewens misdaadvoorkoming maak die buurtwaglede seker dat enige winkeltrollies wat ongemagtig gebruik word, gekonfiskeer word. Di\u00e9 trollies word aan die betrokke winkels terugbesorg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tydens twee massapatrollies wat rondom Vredenburg se laer- en ho\u00ebrskool gedoen is, in samewerking met polisie en ander buurtwagte, is verdagte persone ook in hul spore gestuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTydens \u2019n afgelope beurtkrag-periode het die buurtwag ook \u2019n soortgelyke operasie georganiseer waar altesaam 45 patrollielede die nag die hele Vredenburg gepatrolleer het. \u2019n Hele aantal suksesvolle inhegtenisnemings van persone wat die wet oortree het, is ook gemaak, sommiges in samewerking met die polisie,\u201d s\u00ea Du Plessis.Langtermynplanne<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vier groot projekte waaraan die buurtwag tans aandag gee, is die SBM-vullisdromplakker-projek waar buurtwaglede \u2019n plakker by die buurtwag kan bekom en dit dan op hul vullisdrom aangebring word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Tweede projek is om huisnommers saam met die buurtwag se logo teen die straatrandstene voor buurtwaglede se huise aan te bring. \u201cDit bring mee dat \u2019n sekere huisadres makliker gevind kan word in tye van nood. \u2019n Noodnommerkaartjie in die vorm van \u2019n boekmerk sal ook binnekort aan alle lede uitgereik word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rommel is ook \u2019n probleem en werk word gemaak om vullis in die buurt op te tel. Buurtwag werp lig op die saak<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Groter projek is die installering van sterk spreiligte in strategiese donker gebiede in en rondom die buurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie ligte word deur die buurtwag met hul eie finansies self aangekoop en in samewerking met die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit op die betrokke straatlamppale ge\u00efnstalleer. \u2019n Groot sprong gaan veiligheidskameras wees wat in samewerking met die munisipaliteit op strategiese plekke by ingange na Esperia-buurt ge\u00efnstalleer gaan word,\u201d verduidelik du Plessis. Die kameras sal dan gemonitor word deur die munisipale beheerkamera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns moedig persone aan wat nog nie by die buurtwag lede is nie om so spoedig moontlik aan te sluit vir hul en hul huisgesin se eie voordeel. Ander buurtwagte is welkom om by Esperia-buurtwag kers op te steek en gedagtes uit te ruil,\u201d nooi Du Plessis. .<\/span> Inwoners wat meer wil weet, kan kontak maak met Smook by 079 930 6779 of Du Plessis by 082 871 1016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
