\n Standard<\/span> het gaan aanklop by \u2019n paar buurt- en plaaswagte in die Breedevallei- en Witzenbergstreek om te hoor wat die fokuspunte en uitdagings van hierdie organisasies sonder winsbejag is.<\/p>\n

Hexvallei-plaaswag<\/h1>\n

Volgens Deon Joubert, bestuurder van die Hexvallei-plaaswag wat die hele Hexvallei dien, verg dit harde werk om die vallei veilig te hou.<\/p>\n

Joubert verduidelik dat die plaaswag nie tans meer misdaad opmerk nie, maar beslis meer aktiwiteite, wat insluit mense wat rondloop tussen plaasgebiede en huise, maar wat vinnig opgevolg word om misdaad te voorkom.<\/p>\n

Volgens hom het elke seisoen spesifieke misdaad wat daarmee saam- gaan, en tans ervaar die plaaswag sy jaarlikse druiwe-diefstalle, en verkope langs die N1, asook die steel van batterye uit trekkers en vragmotors, kabeldiefstal en geweld tydens naweke, saam met alkoholgebruik.<\/p>\n

Nogtans, verduidelik Joubert, is dit \u2019n stil seisoen.<\/p>\n

Volgens hom vaar die plaaswag goed en het \u2019n aktiewe lidmaatskap en patrolleerders, maar kan altyd doen met \u2019n bietjie ekstra.<\/p>\n

Meer finansiering of lede sal beteken dat die plaaswag kan groei en hul toerusting, wat bestaan uit onder meer kameras, voertuie, radio\u2019s, ander kommunikasie-platforms en die beheerkamer, kan uitbrei om beter veiligheid te bewerkstellig.<\/p>\n

Bheki Cele, die minister van polisie, het in sy onlangse begrotingsrede vir die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens ges\u00ea dat daar geen hulpbronne of finansiering beskikbaar gemaak gaan word vir buurt- en plaaswagte nie, wat vele lede ontstel het.<\/p>\n

In reaksie op di\u00e9 toespraak s\u00ea Joubert dat die plaaswag nie op ander entiteite steun vir finansi\u00eble bydraes nie, en eerder self sien en kom klaar.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndien ons iets van die departement ontvang, is ons dankbaar, maar ons maak nie daarop staat nie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolseley-buurtwag<\/h1>\n

Volgens Elanza Basson, voorsitter van Wolseley se buurtwag in die middedorp, ervaar die buurtwag tans koperdiefstal waar oortreders veral koperkrane steel.<\/p>\n

Nog uitdagings sluit in werkloosheid, en ongeletterdheid wat tot misdaad bydra.<\/p>\n

Basson het ook telefonies aan Standard<\/span> ges\u00ea dat nog \u2019n uitdaging van di\u00e9 buurtwag \u2019n tekort aan brandstof vir patrollie-lede insluit.<\/p>\n

Sy verduidelik dat meer as 200 lede deel vorm van die buurtwag, maar dat nie almal bereid is om patrollie te ry nie, en di\u00e9 wat wel in die strate rondry van hul eie geld moet opdok vir brandstof weens \u2019n tekort aan finansiering daarvoor.<\/p>\n

Volgens haar wil die buurtwag ook straatkameras laat installeer en met \u2019n app (applikasie) op hul foon monitor, en doen \u2019n beroep op die Wolseley-gemeenskap om daarmee te help. <\/p>\n

Worcester buurt- en misdaadwag<\/h1>\n

Diana Murray van die Worcester buurt- en misdaadwag, wat in meeste woongebiede in die dorp gratis patrolleer, verduidelik dat di\u00e9 buurtwag se uitdagings \u201calgemeen\u201d is, maar sluit veral in diefstal in sektor vier (Meiringspark, Rouxpark, Re\u00fcniepark, Fairy Glen, Bergsig, Hospitaalheuwel, Hospitaalpark, Van Riebeeckpark, Panorama, Fairy Heights, Paglande,Worcester Wes, COD en Somersetpark), asook huisbrake. <\/p>\n

\u201c[Die Worcester buurt- en misdaadwag] se prioriteitsmisdade is eiendomverwante misdaad,\u201d volgens Murray, wat ook verduidelik dat die buurtwag op meer sigbaarheid tydens beurtkrag fokus, wanneer dit donker is en meer geleenthede geskep word vir boewe om rond te sluip.<\/p>\n

Sy verduidelik ook dat dit gratis is om aan die buurtwag te behoort, en dat ledetalle daagliks groei, wat di\u00e9 buurtwag reeds een van die grootstes in Worcester maak.<\/p>\n

Volgens Murray is die Worcester buurt- en misdaadwag heeltemal afhanklik van donasies, en ontvang ook finansi\u00eble bydraes van die plaaslike departement van gemeenskapsveiligheid.<\/p>\n

Die verskil tussen \u2019n buurtwag en plaaswag<\/h1>\n

\u2019n Buurtwag is \u2019n groep inwoners wat \u2013 ook vrywillig \u2013 misdaad in hul gemeenskap bestry en die o\u00eb en ore van die plaaslike polisie en gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum (GPF) is.<\/p>\n

\u2019n Buurtwag sal dan met die GPF kommunikeer, terwyl die GPF met die plaaslike polisie sal kommunikeer om inwoners en veiligheidsgroepe se bekommernisse aan te pak.<\/p>\n

\u2019n Plaaswag, daarenteen, beskerm plase in landelike gebiede om vee- of oesdiefstal te voorkom, asook ander diefstal, soos die steel van koper of batterye. Dit is ook \u2019n plaaswag se verantwoordelikheid om veiligheid te bewerkstellig by plaashuise en arbeidershuise.<\/p>\n

Die plaaswag rapporteer aan, en steun ook op die plaaslike polisiekantoor, en maak staat op plaaseienaars vir maandelikse diensfooie, asook patrolleerders wat vrywillig of vir \u2019n klein salaris patrollies uitvoer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
