According to the team, the new executive was elected on August 22 and started occupying the office the same day.
“As the CPF, our role is to assist in providing a peaceful process between residents who need to resolve disputes as sometimes they come to the police station to complain, but don’t always need to open a case.
“We help in creating good relations between the police and the community.
“In addition, we create awareness campaigns on crime-related issues and hold meetings with the community.
“When we see crime taking place, we also help in reporting it to the police,” says deputy chairperson Mncedisi Somyo.
