⚠ *Note from our Patrol Coordinator* ⚠
Please do *not* feed the homeless people begging at traffic lights. If you feed them or give them money, they move into our fields, setting up informal shelters.
They continue to beg during the day, and loiter our streets at night, looking for an easy opportunity.
Some homeless people use the money for drugs, which in return attracts the drug dealers into our area.
This is a huge security risk, so if you want to help, rather contact an organization that specialize in assisting them.
Please report any incidents to SAPS and our CPF office at: 072 425 0121 for any assistance and forward your SAPS case number to the CPF Office for record keeping. This will assist Patrollers and RO’s when making an arrest and possibly link the suspects with other crimes.
Kind regards,
CPF Sector 7
