A new year for the Watch

THE 2016 year was a busy one for Vryheid Neighbourhood Watch, with very little time to rest for the dedicated patrolling members.

Criminals don’t take a break during the festive season and neither did Neighbourhood Watch, as they continued with regular patrols to safeguard the community from crime over the Christmas period.

However, after the trials and tribulations of the past year, a day was set aside in mid-January for Vryheid Neighbourhood Watch members and their families to get together and enjoy a few hours of rest and relaxation at Red Robbin.

“Baie dankie aan almal wat by ons funksie was by Red Robbin,” said Chairman, Andrè Rheder. “Dankie, Christa, vir die reelings, Stephan vir die vleis en dan Carol vir die geriewe.

“Die jaar is verby,” he continued. “Ek dink ons het relatief goed gedoen en met die Vader se genade het ons nie seergekry in die baie belangrike werk wat ons verrig het. Diè jaar lê voor ons. Kom ons gee dit ons beste die jaar. Daar sal veranderinge moet kom en besprekings sal ons moet hê om die skip beter te seil. “Dankie weereens vir julle harde werk, die dames agter ons manne, dankie dat julle hulle so goed ondersteun.”
