⚠️ A reminder ahead of tomorrow, 30 June: ⚠️
​With various marches and protests scheduled, let's remember that our priority must be peace, safety, and respect for the law.
​📱 Don't spread fake news: Before you hit "share" on that WhatsApp message, panic-inducing video, or rumor about a shutdown, make sure it’s actually true. Fake news only feeds panic and incites tension.
🚫 Say NO to violence: Legitimate frustrations can be voiced, but intimidation, lawlessness, and vigilantism have no place in our society. Taking the law into your own hands is a crime.
​Let's allow law enforcement to maintain order and keep our neighborhoods safe. Keep a cool head, stick to facts, and look out for one another.

Motorists are being urged to remain alert at petrol filling stations following more reports of theft.

In this incident a few weeks ago, a cellphone was stolen.

The victim said the phone was stolen while it was placed on the lap and “not even visible to the eye”, suggesting the suspects may have been closely monitoring the victim before striking.

Safety tips for motorists at petrol stations:

• Keep phones, wallets and handbags out of sight at all times.

• Avoid placing valuables on your lap, passenger seat or dashboard.

• Lock your doors when attendants are not assisting you.

• Stay aware of people approaching your vehicle unnecessarily.

• Be cautious of distractions, as suspects often work in groups.

• If using your phone for payments or directions, put it away immediately afterwards.

• Report suspicious behaviour to petrol station management and SAPS.

• Where possible, use filling stations with visible security presence and CCTV monitoring.

Motorists are reminded that criminals often target busy petrol stations and shopping areas where drivers may be distracted.
