POLICE ACCUSED OF WORKING WITH CRIMINALS

TSWELELANG - Residents in Tswelelang have accused the Wolmaransstad Police Station Commander, Colonel Itumeleng Koloane in front of his superiors of working with criminal gangs that are terrorising them day & night

Accusations were thrown during a heated Rural Safety Imbizo that was organized by his office at Tswelelang Youth Centre. Residents who were angry at the police threw hard words for being unable to stabilise the situation. Residents say crime happens under police's watch & do nothing about it

Their accusations came as they lamented that, they continue to face criminal activities which don't seem to minimise in their areas

"I want to say this and it is not a speculation or an accusation, Colonel Koloane is working with gangsters and it's fact, he's working with gangsters" - concerned community member

The community also accused the police of doing nothing about the increasing incidents of crime in their area

"Police are doing nothing about crime that is happening in our area. Crime happens under their watch & they will do nothing. They always report that, there are no vehicles to respond to emergency calls. These vehicles are used for personal gains by these officers, but they will report that they have no vehicles at the station" - concerned community member

Criminal activities such as: common assault, business robberies, house break-ins, murder, possession of illegal fi****ms, r**e, hijacking inclunding GBV have increased although police have lamented that, there are other cases which occur daily but are unreported due to the community losing trust in the police. R**e, house break-ins, hijacking & GBV are amongst some of those cases that go unreported, if you as a community see something report to the police not social media, that way we would know what to do, that's according to the police

Residents have been requested to refrain from reporting criminal incidents on social media which causes often causes a scare

" We plead with our residents not to report criminal incidents on social media especially when they have just witnessed them, because we monitor social media, you'd find that, a person has seen crime taking place & they would quickly run to social media to report it, that causes the community to panic" - Police

The Community Policing Forum - CPF Chairperson in Tswelelang has lamented loopholes in the protection of their members especially when dealing with criminal incident or having to face criminals themselves

"The safety of our CPF members is under a threat when they respond to criminal incidents because the people we approach are heavily armed with sharp knives, pangas & other dangerous weapons. These members are not even paid but they risk their lives for their community.Now I'm being targeted, these criminals say, I'm the one informing the police about what they are doing, they say I'm the one who send the Tactical Response Team - TRT in Wolmaransstad & Tswelelang. Ever Friday, my house is broken into, every Friday" - CPF Chairperson

Frustrated community members also say, their safety is compromised as these criminals use force & sharp weapons to execute their criminal duties. Cases of armed robbery, murder, r**e, GBV & common assault are the highest ranking on their list

CPF Chairperson said, these groups walk around with more than 50 individuals just to rob a business or execute a criminal activity. Residents have also called for removal of the Station Commander, Colonel Itumeleng Koloane

PAVE LAYERS ON DUTY AFTER COMMUNITY DIVISION

TSWELELANG - A source has told Wolmaransstad Link that a small group of pave layers from the Ward 4 that had halted a paving construction for a day is now on duty effective from November 2024 as their disputes have been resolved. The construction was delayed by a day due to disputes between the Ext 5 residents and the group which picketted at the Khoisan Corporate Company

The group demanded clarity after they had picked up that some of them who became victorious in the ID stir-hiring system were on duty before the right time, however construction management explained to the group that a contractor needed some of the employed to assist excavators during the excavations

The group demanded that a project be halted altogether until their desputes are dealt with. Their demand came as they believed they were hired but not on duty. The contractor handling the paving project has been excavating the area to prepare for pave laying which it's phase will begin

The residents of the Ext 5 in Tswelelang have defended the project stoppage due to what they said were unreasonable disputes

Pave layers questioned & lamented that some of their own were called for duty without their knowledge. The contractor was said, he needed only 2 of the employed which caused confusion that halted operations for a day

The ward consists of Ext 5, Setlhabantoni area & a half of the Old Location. A small group that consisted of only youth from the the Old Location & Setlhabantoni areas picketted at the construction site in the Ext 5, Tswelelang which is responsible for the project

Operations were halted on Wednesday - 16 October 2024 by the group demanding to begin working. According to the process of hiring, members of the community were invited for the ID stirring system by the Maquassi Hills Local Municipality which in it, individuals throw in their ID's to be stirred, if it is picked up by an official, the candidate for the pave laying phase is hired. It is a system that has been used for community projects across the municipality

Some community members of the Ext 5 reiterated that the project will resume no matter what

The group demanded the Mayor of Maquassi Hills & members related to the project processes to come to party to explain the working process further

The group came back in the morning of Thursday - 17 October 2024 to demand further clarity. The site manager briefly explained to them how the process of the construction is working and that if they have any further queries they should direct them to the Maquassi Hills Municipality, however the group did get in contact with municipal officials to convey their disputes. Despite their return to the site, excavation & other operations resumed

The site manager explained that, only a two of the hired community members had been roped in to assist excavator, TLB & tipper truck operators & the rest will be on duty when paving blocks are being laid which it's phase is still yet to come

This is yet another project that has been threatened to be halted in Maquassi Hills. In Kgakala, the community members stopped the paving project after they misunderstood & believed it was done through tendering. Meanwhile in Lebaleng, community members & road project employees also stopped it from proceeding due to underlying issues. The municipality & the provincial government made interventions to resolve those underlying issues & ordered that the operations be allowed to resume as disputes will be resolved

Operations in Ext 5, Tswelelang have been in full swing since Thursday - 17 October 2024

DEPT LED NEW PROBATION CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Department of Social Development in North West led a two-day capacity building initiative focusing on the upgraded Probation Case Management and CYCA systems.

Under the guidance of Mthetho Mqonci from the national office in the Social Crime Prevention programme, with the support of Provincial manager, Watson Seatle, managers of Probation and Social Welfare worked hand-in-hand towards the development of a system skills upgrading meant to manage minors who have encountered the law.

These systems will be streamlining the entire process of managing children in conflict with the law, from notification to rehabilitation.This is meant to enhance coordination, monitoring and information sharing among stakeholders, ultimately strengthening the effectiveness of our Criminal Child justice courts.

The initiative, comes at a time crucial in ensuring that the Department remains true in its role of providing effective support and rehabilitation for the youth and minors, aligning with both the Child Justice Act and Children's Act.

Children under the age of 18 who find themselves in conflict with the law are accommodated in two provincial institutions located in Klerksdorp and Rustenburg receiving both education and rehabilitation.
