The recently renamed Western Suburbs Roodepoort Neighbourhood Watch (WSRNW), previously Witpoortjie Neighbourhood Watch, celebrated Youth Day with a Family Day recently.
The carnival-like event that was held opposite Hoërskool Die Adelaar also aimed to raise awareness and unify residents of the area.
This ideal gathering for families and friends included a performance by the band Bevonk, the artist Dudley, boeresport, a show by the police dog unit, a potjiekos competition, paintball, a beauty pageant and a flea market.
According to Annete van Rensburg the good showing of residents is an indicator that the community is serious about fighting crime.
