MONTAGU. \u2013 Van plaaskind tot die beste polisiebeampte in die afdeling Sigbare Polisi\u00ebring in die Wes-Kaapprovinsie. Dit wil gedoen wees!<\/p>\n
Dit klink amper soos \u2019n sprokiesverhaal. Tog is dit konst. Esmarelda (Essie) Philander, \u2019n dinamiese polisievrou verbonde aan die Montagu-polisiekantoor, wat letterlik bo haar omstandighede uitgestyg het, se ware lewensverhaal.<\/p>\n
Philander het op die plaas Leeuhoek in die Koo-vallei grootgeword en haar skoolloopbaan by G.B. Batt Prim\u00ear (ook in die Koo) begin, waarna sy in 2012 aan die Cape Academy of Maths, Science and Technology matrikuleer het.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het daarna maatskaplike werk by Hugenote-kollege gaan studeer, maar in 2014 besluit om my by die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens aan te sluit. Ek het op 22 September 2014 met opleiding by die Philippi- polisiekollege begin,\u201d vertel Philander.<\/p>\n
Sy is n\u00e1 haar basiese opleiding in Montagu gestasioneer, waar sy as skoflid begin werk het.<\/p>\n
Philander is op 30 Augustus 2016 as maatskaplikemisdaad-voorkomingsbeampte aangestel nadat sy om die pos aansoek gedoen het.<\/p>\n
Sedertdien is sy betrokke by verskeie gemeenskapsprojekte wat maatskaplike kwessies soos geslagsgebaseerde misdaad, gesinsgeweld, misdaad teen vroue en kinders en so meer in die gemeenskap aanpak.<\/p>\n
Toe die geleentheid \u2013 die jaarlikse prestige- toekennings van die polisie \u2013 hom voordoen, het Philander haarself vir die kategorie Sigbare Polisi\u00ebring: Werknemer van die Jaar (vlak 5-7) ingeskryf.<\/p>\n
Sy het die kortlys van drie kandidate n\u00e1 \u2019n deeglike beoordelingsproses gehaal. Die ander twee teen wie sy te staan gekom het, was konst. M.S. Abrahams, wat by die provinsiale kantoor (Wes-Kaap) van die polisie werk, en sers. E.J. Fortuin, wat by die Kraaifontein-polisiekantoor gestasioneer is.<\/p>\n
Philander het egter stof in haar twee kollegas se o\u00eb geskop en die prys gewen.<\/p>\n
Maar wat beteken dit vir haar?<\/p>\n
\u201cDie Wes-Kaapse polisie hou elke jaar die prestige- toekennings waar beamptes en werknemers van die polisie vir uitstaande prestasies vereer word.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is dus \u2019n lekker gevoel om te weet jou harde werk word tog iewers raakgesien en erkenning word daaraan gegee. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk was dis natuurlik verheug oor die toekenning en die erkenning, en dit nogal op s\u00f3 \u2019n glansryke geleentheid.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit spoor my net aan om nog beter te doen vorentoe,\u201d verduidelik Philander met \u2019n bre\u00eb glimlag. <\/p>\n
Sy voeg ernstig by: \u201cEk hoop regtig hierdie prestasie van my, as \u2019n plaaskind, dra \u2019n positiewe boodskap aan veral ons jeug in die landelike gebiede uit. <\/p>\n
\u201cBaie van hulle los sommer skool en verval in \u2019n groef en dink plaaswerk is al wat hulle kan doen. <\/p>\n
\u201cNee, dit is nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns hoef nie in ons omstandighede vasgevang te bly sit nie. Ons kan beter doen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die Montagu-gemeenskapspo\u00adlisi\u00ebringsforum (GPF) met wie Philander nou saamwerk en baie projekte saam aanpak, het by dieselfde geleentheid met die Gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum van die Jaar-prys wegge\u00adstap.<\/p>\n
Philander s\u00ea sy is sommer baie trots op Rhoda Negus, die voorsitter van Montagu GPF, en haar bestuur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
