excellent service from Londoloza which is an added benefit to

SRA paying members.

The SRA would like to congratulate Londoloza on another crime free month in the boomed section of Sundowner.

“Sector policing is an approach to policing whereby the service area

of a police station is divided into smaller, manageable areas known as

sectors. For each sector, the SAPS appoints a police official who is

known as the sector commander.”

Hijackings There has been an increase in vehicle hijackings in Sector 1 in the last few months. People are followed to their driveways and hijacked either in the driveway or on the property. Residents are reminded to stay alert and to continue driving past their homes and to call a Londoloza vehicle if they suspect they are being followed or if there are people loitering around their driveways. Guards: At the AGM, the decision was taken to remove one guard from the Apollo and Taurus booms at night. The SRA is happy with the performance of the night guards. It’s good to see the traffic slowing at the booms at night and with only one guard it appears that the traffic is more patient and willing to wait as the guard finishes on the opposite side.

APRIL-AUGUST: NO INCIDENTS!



Patrolling: The two Londoloza patrol vehicles in Sundowner have covered a total of 7536 km and 8131 km over the last 30 days. The SRA would like to thank the vehicles for their excellent work and for ensuring that any strange vehicles/pedestrians are stopped and escorted out of the boomed section if need be. Guard of the Month The Guard of the Month for July was Skumbuzo Zulu for his outstanding work as an armed Guard in the boomed section. The SRA congratulates and thanks Skumbuzo for his hard work and dedication! Residents are reminded to please report good behaviour and nominate guards or officers who are deserving of the recognition.

Narcotics Raid On Wednesday the 8th of July at 15:00pm the TRT team assembled at the Londoloza Head Office for a briefing on a raid to be conducted on Olievenhout street behind Northgate. Drug dealing has become a problem in the area and is impacting on the community.

The team was divided and each group was briefed on their role. For the raid there were two narcotics dogs to assist along with their handlers. As soon as the drug dealers saw the vehicles approaching they ran, resulting in a number of chases. The good news is that Londoloza were able to recover narcotics on site. Dagga, Crystal Meth and Nyoape was recovered along with other drug related items. These contents were handed to SAPS. Some vital information was gathered that will be used in future operations. We appeal to the community to contact us with any information that they may have. Firearm Training Reactions officers are regularly put through specialised firearm training. Below are some pictures from the most recent training session.



Special Alert – from a resident:

“As the winter chill continues, icy conditions are placing

even more pressure on our already constrained energy

grid. Load shedding is a reality which is may even

increase during the coming months. The Insurances have

seen increased number of fire claims in the last few

months, most of which can be attributed directly to load

shedding. Some of these claims have also sadly resulted

in the loss of life.

It is vitally important to be aware of the dangers

associated with these power outages

The Insurance company provided us with a few examples

from some of their recent claims and will hopefully give

you some insight into what to avoid and what to take

care of:

• A hairdryer left on the bed when load shedding

was implemented, set the bed alight when the

power was turned back on.

• Candles fell over setting curtains and bedding

alight. Never leave candles unattended or

burning when going to sleep!

• An iron left on during load shedding, set the

ironing board alight and caused subsequent fire

damage to the cottage.

• Heaters placed too close to flammable material

such as blankets and curtains, are also a major

fire risk.

Make sure that you unplug ALL appliances that were

being used before the power outage to prevent them

from turning on unattended when the power is

restored. In doing this you will also protect these items

from electricity spikes or surges.

Please alert your families to these important aspects and

let’s face our ESKOM challenges safely.”

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A SUSPECT:

The SRA will be starting a What’s App group for reporting of

emergencies and vital security updates/incidents. We will run

a 30 day trial period. Based on feedback from other residents

associations and Londoloza we have been advised that specific

/ strict rules should be implemented so that communication

on this group remains high priority and doesn’t get watered

done by general chatter / banter. For this reason residents

who don’t stick to the rules will have to be removed. (see

Rules below)

Any contributing SRA resident who wants to join the group,

please send Anne the following information:

Your name

Address

The cell phone number you want added to the group



Please note that this group does not replace the panic

system nor will it supersede the need to call the control

room to report an incident or emergency.

What’s app group RULES

Only security/safety matters (this includes suspicious

activity, don’t be afraid to communicate, just make sure it

relates to security)

Report all activities that affect the boomed off area only

The who, what, where, when and How is very important

(i.e. be as specific as possible)

Do not under any circumstances implicate yourself or

others through this forum (it is a public forum, so

technically we run the risk of being accused of defaming

someone)

Treat all information as confidential, bear in mind that

some of the info that is being posted may be inaccurate

(due to error / miscommunication)

Have no expectations! You are welcome to remove

yourself from this group at any time or be removed should

abuse be noted

No discussions - Please refrain from using this group as a

chat forum. When the need arises to chat to a person then

please do it on a private message.

Please keep all communication proper – no vulgar

comments, racist slurs etc. will be tolerated.

Let’s make our area a hard target for criminals. Let them

see that they are being watched by proactive residents

No propaganda

No advertising

No personal opinions
