Safety
Neighbourhood watches
The value of neighbourhood watches has been proven time and again, especially when they cooperate with other safety structures such as community policing forums (CPFs) and the SAPS.
AfriForum has already established more than 170+ neighbourhood watches across the country and the presence of these neighbourhood watches regularly leads to better safety, the prevention of crime and the arrest of suspicious persons.
Staying safe in South Africa
AfriForum’s Community Safety division has released a comprehensive safety guide for international visitors, journalists and delegates attending the G20 Summit in South Africa. The guide, titled Staying safe in South Africa, equips foreign visitors with practical tools to navigate South Africa’s uniquely high-risk crime environment.
The 14-page booklet provides essential information on situational awareness, vehicle safety, accommodation precautions, financial security, and emergency procedures, as well as an overview of South Africa’s specific crime threats.
You can download the safety guide here.
