The Lambton Klip Sector Four CPF (LKCPF) has, over a period of seven years, established itself as a unit that prides itself in its visible crime prevention and observation methods.<\/p>\n
These methods allow the CPF to assist the SAPS, thus fulfilling the mandate for which a community policing forum is established.<\/p>
\u201cThe unit has gone a few steps further in that they don\u2019t only concentrate on crime related issues but also on the upliftment of the entire Lambton Klip area, to make it a place residents are proud to live in,\u201d said Pine Pienaar, vice-chairman of LKCPF.<\/p>\n
Pienaar said pavements in the area had recently had the words \u201cthank you\u201d painted on them which led to great confusion among residents and visitors to the area.<\/p>
\u201cPatrollers decided to resolve this problem and decided to take it upon themselves to remove the \u2018thank you\u2019 words and paint the correct street names on the pavements.<\/p>\n
\u201cTemplates, paint and brushes were funded by the patrollers, as well as various donations from community members, and suddenly the entire Lambton Klip area\u2019s streets were well-named.\u201d<\/p>\n
LKCPF is inviting all members of the public to get involved in the forum.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are various areas where you might fit in, all this for the betterment of our living space.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvent planning and fund-raising are just two of the areas people could help in,\u201d said Pienaar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe interest of the community was noticed during December when the Germiston Rotary Club invited LKCPF to join them in a Santa Sleigh Drive through the entire area, dishing out sweets to the children \u2013 the initiative was a big success.\u201d<\/p>\n
The LKCPF will be holding an open public meeting this Thursday (February 11) at 7pm at Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebrskool Germiston in Webber Road, Lambton.<\/p>\n
The Germiston Police Station commander Brig Samuel Thambo will attend the meeting, along with an SAPS delegation, to listen to problems from community members and give feedback on related issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe invite one and all, including business owners, to attend this meeting and to air your views and ask questions,\u201d Pienaar said.<\/p>\n
