Another successful clean up of public spaces at Lansdowne Station following successful court eviction proceedings brought by the City.

As always, we have ensured each homeless person living at this site has been offered much more dignified and caring alternative accommodation at one of our Safe Spaces. 🤍🤲

We will always act to protect public spaces for the public at large, while always showing care for the homeless.

Well done team

Earlier tonight, this team went to the aid of a motorist who had broken down on the N7 Richwood. The RNW CCTV operator picked up 3/4 suspects who were earlier in the evening involved in robbing people going home. As he was calling for backup, the suspects emerged from the shadows and homed in on the motorist. Thankfully, the motorist saw them and ran - and he ran fast. The suspects then opened the bonnet to steal the battery, but realized that this team of fearless guardians from the RNW and Precinct Response were heading their way. SAPS Bothasig arrived shortly afterwards. The suspects ran off and disappeared amongst the shadows of the shacks. A flatbed was called, and these members stayed with the motorist until the vehicle was loaded and moved off. Thanks to all RNW members, Neal de Wit, and his Precinct Response team, as well as SAPS. We urge motorists to be vigilant on that stretch of road, especially if they break down.

A message from Carl a resident of Kenwyn.

A Message to my Kenwyn Neighborhood:

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, reflecting on this last day of 2025...
I live in Kenwyn for more than 20years and can truly say that in this vibrant community are loving caring people. So I want to thank you for your support. I remember 5 years ago when my wife passed away, how I received messages of condolences and support. Thank you. A kind loving word is so much better than harsh ugly words. Let's spread love, kindness and compassion.
1. To those who might have lost a loved one in this year, let's remember the good times we've had with them and I pray that you will find solace in that.
2. To all our senior citizens, may God bless you with long life so that we can deposit the wisdom that we have been blessed with to the younger generation 🙏
3. To all our business people - even my colleagues in real estate (no matter the company). This year may have been good or bad one, but I pray that 2026 will be 10× better than this year. That God will richly bless the work of your hands.
4. To our Kenwyn Neighborhood Watch - you guys are amazing. Thank you for selflessly doing your best in keeping our nest here safe, despite the sometimes dangerous situations you encounter. Thanks for the sacrifices that your families make to allow you to step out in line of duty.
5. To those who have just finished school or are still studying - may all your aspirations come true and that you would excel in what ever career you pursue 🙏
6. Councilor Mark Kleinschmidt thanks for everything that you do and continue to do. I remember inspite of the stroke you had, you still soldiered on and had a remarkable recovery. God bless you, Sir.
7. To those who have suffered dreaded illness like cancer, etc. Thank God that you are a survivor ❤️ I pray that complete divine healing and good health will be your portion 🙏
In conclusion. May you all be abundantly blessed and may the new year 2026 hold only goodness, happiness and prosperity for us all. As far as it depends on us, let's live peacefully with all people. God bless 🙌 🙏
