Watching over our neighbourhood

 

 Does anyone remember Squad Cars, a radio drama brought to our South African radios from the late 60s to the early 80s by General Motors. "The story you are about to hear is true. Details are supplied from the official case files by the South African Police. Only names and places have been changed to protect innocent people involved." These words that caused my dad to turn up the radio on a Friday evening.

Today we hardly see any police cars patrolling our streets anymore and local Community Police Forums have filled that gap of our neighbourhoods safe. Here are 3 locals we keep watch, AJ one of the Roodekrans Neighbourhood Watch patrollers, Marga from ER24, and Sam from the RNW Ops Room.
