Diepkloof residents to ring the alarm to curb crime

Ward 28 councillor, Peter Ndou,  expressed his hate for crime and corruption and likened the killings of women, femicide, to the killings of the flowers of the revolution at the Diepkloof Community Policing Alarms handover which took place at the Diepkloof Police Station.
Thuli Mthethwa, the founder of the Memeza alarm went to the police station where the elderly were in attendance to receive their alarms.

Residents like Tabitha Yende and Nkukeng Legodi were there to testify about the alarms’ impact in fighting crime.
Yende said, “Ever since I’ve started using the alarm, I haven’t been worrying much about crime and invasion, the Memeza alarm elevates safety and ensures a  fast response from neighbours, the community, the CPF and the police.”

Memeza’s community liaison and partnerships manager, Thami Molefe said, “Community safety is very important because without community safety there’d be a lot of lawlessness which will lead to the deteriorating of our society and ultimately the nation.”
Molefe added how their partnership with the South African Breweries (SAB) indicated the seriousness which they (SAB) are taking in their fight against crime even though they are a liquor trading company.

Kgosi Mogosi of SAB said, “We wanted to take part in decreasing crime in our nation and as a liquor trading brand, we are very happy to help in combating crime.”

Ndou extended his revolutionary greetings to everyone present and said, “We are meeting to curb crime in our communities and I commend the CPF, the SAB, and Memeza for their efforts.”

He added that police must set an example and asked them to pull up their socks in fighting crime.
Mogosi demonstrated how the alarm works and said that the areas which have adopted the Memeza Alarm have seen a marked decline in crime.
