A Legacy of Commitment to Fighting Crime

Ngamlane served on the Community Police Forum (CPF) board for over two decades, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to fighting crime. He held various positions, including Mahikeng Cluster CPF Chairperson and Provincial CPF board Chairperson. Ngamlane’s passion for community policing led him to champion securing resources to support the work of the police.

A Heartfelt Funeral Service

The Ngamlane couple was laid to rest in their hometown of Mahikeng in the North West province. General Masemola, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, and various CPF Chairpersons and community patrollers attended the funeral service.

A Dedicated Servant of the SAPS

General Masemola described Ngamlane as a dedicated and humble volunteer. He emphasized Ngamlane’s significant role as a stakeholder in the South African Police Service (SAPS), stating that “the SAPS, the community of North West, and indeed the country at large, has lost one of its dedicated servants.”

Remembering Ngamlane’s Legacy

Frans Kgasago, the CPF chairperson of Limpopo, remembered Ngamlane as a firm and selfless individual. Kgasago highlighted the importance of community involvement in crime-fighting efforts and the need for communities to assist the police to fight crime actively.

The Role of CPF Structures in the Fight Against Crime

The SAPS has allocated R70 million for the resourcing and capacitation of CPF structures in this financial year. This funding demonstrates the recognition of the vital role that CPF structures play in the fight against crime and the importance of their continued growth and development.

Inspiring Others to Join the Fight Against Crime

The loss of Dixson Ngamlane and his wife is a profound tragedy. However, their dedication to creating a safer community will continue to inspire others.
