MaxUmis Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 So the other night I was thinking about the safety issues we're having at Klapperkop, Groenkloof and Voortrekker monument. Day dreaming about how to catch those fu.... uhm... skelms brought up ideas of sting operations and special forces type tactics...River rat and the CPF okes gave a good effort the other day, but almost as if to send a message to us law abiding sheep, there was a violent attack that same night after the law had left.The problem is obvious, we need more law enforcement patrolling these areas even at weird times of day/night. But who would do these patrols? Who has the capacity or even the training? Who would be suited to this almost military requirement...So, what would it take to get Thaba Tswane to start doing training patrols in these problem areas? Surely regular night time patrols would benefit military training? River Rat 1

First thing that crossed my mind when I read this was an image of SA soldiers tied up in a row with their shoe strings and missing their weapons. But I aggree with you on that one. There are still resources that can be used to help combat crime but there is no political will to fight the crime. River Rat 1

BarHugger Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Heard there was a cyclist stabbed yesterday at fountains circle. anyone with more info? Yoh.......not good if the case. Hotspot for smash and grab......some chatacters lurking and staying in the bushes under the bridges nearby. Stay vigilant and be safe people.
Heel Drop Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I really cannot believe that people are still cycling there - its not safe
dirtrider Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Happened Sunday on R21 as you go up to klapperkop . Cyclists stabbed a number of times . Attackers fled into Klapperkop fountains reserve . Edited November 23, 2015 by dirt-rider
Heel Drop Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 this was the case a few months ago as well where people were attacked in the road cycling past Groenloof/Fountains This sucks big time is he ok?
RABUBI Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 bottom line is currently you are not safe alone anywhere in that general area
River Rat Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Bad news indeed. We have been speculating for sometime now that we seem to have pushed the criminals out of Klapperkop and we may have forced them to operate on the perimeter. Whichever way you look at it the root cause remains the squatter camp adjacent to Unisa it was raided in May. I think we need to pressure the authorities to conduct another raid soon.
Belgarath Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 So, I'm commuting through Fountains Circle up Christina de Wit through to Irene... wondering if that is still such a good idea?
Bateleur1 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 So, I'm commuting through Fountains Circle up Christina de Wit through to Irene... wondering if that is still such a good idea? Rabubi summed it up for you.
Joeboy69 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 So, I'm commuting through Fountains Circle up Christina de Wit through to Irene... wondering if that is still such a good idea?Think that is after cause of increased traffic
Belgarath Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Think that is after cause of increased traffic You saying I'm holding up the traffic?
