He explained the purpose of the imbizo was to engage with the community. “We discussed the crime and how the police and the community can work together to curb it,” said Munyai. He added that other departments were also invited to respond to enquiries about issues that might also contribute to crime. This included issues such as dark streets where lights are not working, illegal dumping, thick bushes and overcrowded houses.
“There will be follow-up imbizos in the near future so that we can continue working together to make the Jeppe policing precinct a safer place for everyone who live or work here,” said Munyai.
