Dear Shallcross community, over this month we've seen a concerning rise in crime. Law enforcement, our security partners and the Shallcross CPSF have stepped up, but they can't be on every road all the time. The safety of Shallcross is a shared responsibility. Our structure is clear. Chatsworth CPF is made up of 13 sub-forums, and one of those is the Shallcross CPSF. Under that sit our neighbourhood watches and each road. That structure only works if every road takes part. For too long a small handful of people has carried the load. That has to change. Our vision is simple: every road identifies a representative, those reps build or strengthen a neighbourhood watch, and each active watch sends two representatives to the CPSF. We also call on businesses to strengthen the Business Forum, and on schools, faith groups and other organisations to join hands with residents. Together we can change the culture and future of our community. Our 14-day challenge: every road to nominate a rep and start linking up. We can't force participation, but our support and resources will go to active roads and active watches. We sincerely hope every road chooses to be part of this. Finally, all reps and residents are invited to our community meeting on Monday,3rd of August, 6:30pm at Shellcross Community Hall. The time is now. Together we will protect, uplift and change the future of Shallcross.
Warm regards
Vishal / Chairperson

*📢 CHATSWORTH CPF & KZN WIDE UPDATE 📢*

30 JUNE 2026
07:55 AM

Good day Chatsworth Community,

*Current status:*
All areas across Chatsworth & greater KZN are clear at this time. No incidents or instigations reported in our communities so far.

CPF, security, and law enforcement remain on high-visibility patrol throughout KZN. Well done to all members keeping our areas safe.

*Please take note:*
1. *Town/CBD:* people for the March are reported to be picking up in the CBD area. We advise members of the public to stay clear of that area today if possible.
2. *Stay home if you don’t need to be out:* Today is unpredictable with march activity. For your safety, please cancel non-essential trips and stay off the streets unless necessary.
3. *Updates here only:* It’s pointless posting “all clear” repeatedly. We will post in this group immediately if anything changes or develops.

We continue to monitor CHATSWORTH and surrounding areas closely.

Stay safe, stay vigilant, and report anything suspicious to SAPS 10111 / CPF hotline. Do not share unverified messages.

Regards,
CHATSWORTH CPF

*📢 COMMUNITY SAFETY & LEGAL COMPLIANCE NOTICE 📢*

Dear Chatsworth Community,

Following concerns raised within our area, please take note of the following:

1. *Immigration & Employment Law:*
It is illegal to employ or house persons who are undocumented and there are fines and penalties for contravention of the SA law. We urge all residents and businesses to comply with immigration and labour laws.

2. *Security Services - PSIRA Compliance:*
We have received complaints regarding security guards who are not registered with *PSIRA*.
Please ensure:
- Your security company is PSIRA-registered
- Guards are in approved company uniform and carry valid PSIRA IDs
- Hiring guards privately, outside a registered security company, is illegal. CPF/SAPS will not be able to assist incidents involving non-compliant security arrangements.
PSIRA will be conducting inspections in the area.

3. *No Threats or Vigilantism:*
Last night we received a report of a threat made against a property believed to be housing undocumented persons.
*Threats, intimidation, or damage to property are criminal offences.* CPF and SAPS cannot protect or assist anyone who violates the law. All concerns must be reported through the correct legal channels.

4. *What to do if you have concerns:*
- Report suspected illegal activity to SAPS 10111 or Home Affairs
- Report unregistered security to PSIRA
- Share verified information + location here so CPF can coordinate with the authorities
- Do not engage, confront, or share unverified messages that may cause panic

Let’s keep Chatsworth safe by staying within the law and working with the authorities.

Regards,
Chatsworth CPF

Subject: Low Attendance at the Shallcross CPSF Financial AGM – 20 April 2026
To the Shallcross Community,
We wish to express our disappointment at the extremely poor attendance at the Shallcross CPSF Financial Annual General Meeting held on 20 April 2026.
The Financial AGM is one of the most important meetings on our calendar. It exists to ensure transparency and accountability by giving community members the opportunity to review how funds are used, question expenditure, and understand the assets currently held by the CPSF. These processes only work when the community actively participates.
Over the past four years, Shallcross CPSF has grown from having no assets to an independently assessed asset value of approximately R400,000. This level of growth and stability places us ahead of more than 90% of CPFs currently operating. It is an achievement that reflects commitment, discipline, and consistent volunteer effort—and one that the community can be proud of.
Unfortunately, very few residents were present to share in or engage with this progress. While the results are visible, the long hours, personal sacrifices, and sustained effort behind them often are not. None of this happens by chance. It is the outcome of volunteers who believe deeply in building a safer Shallcross.
A full 21‑day notice period was issued in line with requirements. Despite this, attendance remained low, which raises concern and is deeply demotivating to those who continue to give their time and energy to the CPF. Community safety and financial accountability are shared responsibilities, not issues that can be left to a few individuals.
In closing, what Shallcross CPSF has achieved in four years is unprecedented within Shallcross. This is a factual statement and one that should matter to every resident.
The CPF exists to serve and protect the community, but it cannot succeed without community involvement. Without participation, engagement, and support, the progress and vision being built for Shallcross are at risk.
We urge residents to reflect on this and to begin taking a more active role. Your presence matters. Your voice matters.
Shallcross CPSF remains committed to this community and sincerely hopes that residents will meet these efforts halfway—before years of hard work are placed in jeopardy.
Warm regards,
Vishal Lachman
Chairperson
Shallcross CPSF

Community Notice: Camera Pole Vandalised
It is with great disappointment that we inform the community that one of our camera poles was recently vandalised. The solar panel attached to the unit was stolen.
A case has been opened with SAPS.
We are asking for your assistance:
If anyone witnessed or has information regarding this incident at the Burlington corner, please notify us immediately. All information will be treated with strict confidentiality.
Video footage will be released once clearance has been granted by SAPS.
These cameras are installed to protect our community. Damage to this infrastructure compromises the safety of everyone.
Thank you for your continued support and vigilance.
