The Law Enforcement Advancement Plan (LEAP) is a collaborative effort between the Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town, aimed at bolstering community safety and security. LEAP has been making significant strides in creating safer neighborhoods and reducing crime rates in the Western Cape.
The Western Cape Government (WCG) and the Western Cape Mobility Department recently launched an initiative that provides support to local neighborhood watch groups. The initiative involves distributing bicycles and essential resources to 14 neighborhood watch groups (NHWs) across the Cape Agulhas and Overstrand municipalities. The NHWs are composed of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that their communities are safe and secure.
The Gauteng Provincial Legislature has launched a crimefighting initiative to reduce crime in Gauteng. The industry is led by the Premier of Gauteng, Panyaza Lesfufi, and the MEC for Community Safety, Faith Mazibuko. The newly launched crimefighting unit plans to deploy 6,000 Crime Prevention Wardens in townships, informal settlements, and hostels to protect residents and fight crime.
