The residents of Naudeville, Welkom, can now sleep peacefully after the installation of 13 new closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras to improve security and help with crime prevention.
This initiative, driven by the Community Policing Forum (CPF) Sector 3, in partnership with the Welkom police, aims to strengthen law enforcement capabilities and improve community safety.
The newly installed surveillance system will help monitor key areas, deter criminal activities and provide valuable evidence for investigations, which is an important step in fighting crime in the area.
The project is a step forward in strengthening security in Naudeville, with plans to extend coverage to the Welkom CBD and other neighbourhoods in the near future.
Brig. Disebo Cezula praised the CPF’s collaboration with the Welkom police and expressed gratitude to residents who have private CCTV cameras, which play a crucial role in assisting law enforcement with crime prevention.
“The Welkom police remain committed to promoting strong partnerships with the community to create a safer living environment for everyone,” she said.
Dirk Kotze, CPF chairman of Welkom, congratulated sector 3 on this achievement and emphasised the positive impact of collective responsibility to ensure a safer environment.
The launch of the CCTV project on 29 January was attended by sector 3 committee members including Bonny Alfirs, Michael Harcombe, Alno Crous, Basil Gillfillen and Capt. Andries Coetzee, who is a police sector representative – all instrumental in making this initiative a success.
