Cosmo City - Safety first for everyone

The MEC calls for the community to come together in fiding solutions in putting their safety first.

Cosmo City residents will arrange an Assembly of street Committees and block committees on 14th January 2017.

This comes after the MEC for Gauteng Department of Community Safety called for rehabilitated vigour in community intelligence in order to confidently win the fight against crime in Gauteng. The call came after an outbreak of reported hijacking incidents which resulted in a two year old child fatally shot in a hijacked drama in Centurion recently. “Whilst I commend the dedication and hard work of the men and women in blue who are working tirelessly around the clock and have thus far made concrete leads, community intelligence remains key.

Some community members may have seen these perpetrators committing their hideous crimes, but remain silent. In the event they fear for their safety, they can opt for anonymous tip off. Reporting is the only missing ingredient to guarantee safety for all our people, to live, do business and walk the streets freely without fear” said MEC Nkosi-Malobane.

The assembly aims to do a thorough introspection of the work currently undertaken and to find new and innovative ways to improve the safety of all residents through strengthening their community intelligence.
