National Civilian Secretariat for Police, Provincial Government and police plan to strengthen rural policing.
The Gauteng Department of Community Safety in conjunction with National Civilian Secretariat for Police and the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development are hosting a Rural Safety Summit that will consolidate an implementable programme of action (POA) against crime.
The summit will be held on 28 February until 1 March at Glenburn Lodge in Muldersdrift.
Farm owners, farm workers, farm tenants and various stakeholders in the agricultural sector will spend two days developing a plan against crime.
Aggravated robberies, which are part of trio crimes, and other contact crimes are among serious crime challenges that confront rural communities across the country.
The summit is also expected to pave a way for more social cohesion among farm owners, farm workers, and farm tenants and law enforcement agencies in a bid to ensure safety in rural communities.
The following topics will be tackled in different commissions with the aim of making recommendations to be filtered in the POA.
• Rural safety and business opportunities for the development of all
• Crime and policing in rural areas
• Crime challenges affecting workers and tenants
• Women and children making rural community safety a collective effort.
