I disagree with the letter in the previous issue of the Southern COURIER, page six (“Crime is now the norm at Avelda Park”).
My house was broken into in February this year, but I received excellent service from the SAPS. They were on the scene in 10 minutes and the CPF patrolled for two months, checking my yard out at 01:00 in the morning.
I think that article was written out of anger and frustration.
When my home was broken into, we were so scared, we put our property on sale. But after the second attempt in March, a police officer encouraged me not to sell our home, because crime is everywhere. He advised us to just “up” the security.
Therefore, that is what I will do as soon as I get employment. Believe me, the police are doing an excellent job! God bless you guys.
The CPF members are people like us, offering their time to help us prevent crime in our areas. At the same time they have jobs to go to every day. It is time we work together and stop blaming and pointing fingers.
We will continue praying for Mondeor Police as they are really giving us excellent service!

My point in the my previous mail is that we have a sector which is not serviced equally by Mondeor Police. The reaction in terms of time to various incidents between Kibler Park and Alveda Park is different and i stand by what i said. What you said Desiree is prove that Mondeor is only interested in serving the old Kibler Park and forget about us in Alveda Park. When a case is reported in Alveda Park it takes more than 30 to an hour to be attended to by Mondeor Police so therefore lets not debate this here we have met with Mondeor and have agreed on a turnaround plan address our concerns. Thank you
