Speaking at a CPF meeting held on 14 July, chairperson of Sector 3, Thibeli Malebo, announced that after eight years of assisting police to fight crime, it was now time to hand over the baton.
Malebo thanked Sector 3 manager, Constable Clement Mkhondo, for his outstanding work and support in the battle against crime and explained that despite his decision to leave the CPF, he was still available to give advice on challenges facing the community, if need be.
The Sector 3 elections will take place on 1 August to allow the nominees time to read the constitution and for arrangements to be made.
