I am living in constant fear to scared to even sit outside in my own garden the crime is out of hand

I do not see why a relatively small, well defined are could not be protected well through proper, visible policing. Other than private security, for which I pay personally in addition to my tax obligations, I don't see or experience the visible, proactive, meaningful presence of SAPS or other local governmental safety and security agencies at work in my area.

Crime in our area has increased. Perpetrators need to be caught, arrested and convicted. The police and prosecutors need to do their jobs. This is becoming out of control.

(Faerie Glen, Pretoria East, 2017-08-03)

The citizens of South Africa can not longer accept being terrorised, murdered and burgled by the thugs running this city. Through rampant corruption and bribery criminals are not punished. Its time to stand up and say no more!!! The Government owes it to SA Citizens to do something immediately they all have personal security, what about the ordinary citizens of SA. DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!

(Pretoria, 2017-08-08)

#147

4 break-ins in at our complex the past two months where we never had any incidents in the past

(Pretoria, 2017-08-08)

#149

I have lived in this area since August 2005 and have not seen visible SAPS policing in order to prevent criminal activity and gather information about strangers on most street corners, living in the reserve areas quite openly during daylight hours and then most probably able to unhindered break down walls, cut barbed wire, put alarms and electrical fencing out of order, and break down locked doors, smash security gates, break windows, take what they want and even walk down Nevada Crescent carrying the plasma TV's above their heads.
As a trustee I have had to interview 5 break-ins, armed robberies, where the tenants were tied up and threatened. The material loss can be replaced but the trauma remains for months and years after.
As pensioner I have had to spend thousands on extra security and must still do more, which is an unbearable financial burden.
Please assist and advise what we as residents can do to help one another. Thank you. Merle Van de Venter.
