The next scam message that lands on your phone could look completely legitimate. It may have your name, your bank’s logo, the correct spelling and even details about where you live or a parcel you are expecting. If it is a phishing message, there may be little about it that immediately raises suspicion.

But there is one thing that sophisticated scammers and artificial intelligence still struggle with: sounding convincingly like an ordinary South African in their home language.

Wolwedans Elderly Day - 16 September 2026.
The Groot-Brak CPF (Community Policing Forum) was asked to host a morning program with the elderly in Wolwedans.
Jacky Carstens, Elize Bester, and Lindre Lotter led the scripture reading and prayer. Then came the great fun! Bingo was played with the elderly. Prizes were donated by the Groot-Brak Dutch Reformed Church (NG Kerk) and the CPF. The church also asked us to distribute clothes. We packed them into bags, and the elderly drew numbers. Everyone went home with something. TAKE ACTION AGAINST CRIME tips were also discussed with the elderly. Everyone enjoyed themselves.
Thank you to everyone that was involved making this day a feast for the eldery.

GROOTBRAK Polisiestasie-projek: Februarie 2025 tot September 2026

Die GPF-bestuur (Gemeenskapspolisieringsforum) het die inisiatief geneem om die stasie op te knap en te verbeter. Ons het in Februarie 2025 met die selkombuis begin, waarna ons die tuin aangepak het. Vyf bome is afgesaag en uitgegrawe deur die gemeenskapswerkers wat diens by die stasie doen. Ons raad het die groen lig vir die projek gekry, en die tuin is in Mei 2026 voltooi. Die stasie se geute, vensters en geboue is gewas. Die selle word nou weekliks skoongemaak en die bakkies word gereeld gewas.Ons wil graag die volgende organisasies en individue bedank vir hul bydraes om hierdie projek tot dusver ’n groot sukses te maak: die buurtwagte, plaaswagte, Universal Paint, Hein die bouer, me. Human, asook al die skenkers van die plante en gras.Ons het ook ’n voedingskema vir die werkers begin. Baie dankie aan die NG Kerk in Langstraat, die VLV (Vroue-Landbou-unie) en die GPF. Ons opregte dank aan elke persoon wat ’n skenking gemaak het, groot of klein. As GPF-bestuur bedank ons u dat u gehelp het om die stasie ’n skoon en positiewe omgewing te maak vir sowel die polisiemanne as die publiek wat die fasiliteite gebruik.

GREAT BRAK Police Station Project: February 2025 to September 2026

The CPF (Community Policing Forum) management took the initiative to upgrade and beautify the station. We launched the project in February 2025 by renovating the cell kitchen, followed by a complete overhaul of the garden. Five trees were cut down and uprooted by community workers performing community service at the station. After our board received official approval for the project, the garden was successfully completed in May 2026. Additionally, the station's gutters, windows, and buildings were washed, the cells are now cleaned weekly, and the patrol vehicles (bakkies) are regularly washed.We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following organizations and individuals for their contributions in making this project a success to date: the neighborhood watches, Farm Watches, Universal Paint, Hein the builder, Ms. Human, and all the donors who contributed plants and lawn grass.Furthermore, we established a feeding scheme for the workers. Special thanks go to the NG Church in Long Street, the VLV (Women's Agricultural Union), and the CPF. Thank you to every individual who made a donation, whether big or small. The CPF management deeply appreciates your support in turning the station into a clean, welcoming, and positive environment for both our police officers and the members of the public who visit the facility.

Onder-Voorsitter Kowie De K**k het die Oumas en Oupas toegespreek oor hoe om jouself veilig te hou teen kubermisdadigers. Kowie De K**k het die groep gewaarsku om nie persoonlike inligting uit te gee nie en om hulle bank onmiddellik te kontak. Hendrien van AVBOB het die gaste meer ingelig oor die lewensboekie en inligting oor AVBOB. Die kinders het 'n gediggie voorgedra tot groot vermaak van die grootouers. Ons bedank Juffrou Runette van Rensburg vir die uitnodiging om deel te wees van hulle spesiale dag.
