Our government programme is expressed in the proposed White Paper which the National Minister Mr. Sidney Mufamadi released two weeks ago. We invite your CPF, The Area Board and the Provincial Board to participate actively in the coming discussions in the White Paper Public Hearings in the province and this is an opportunity for all to take a difference regarding safety and security in the country and the province. Our Ministry fully supports this project. The support by Business Against Crime for this initiative gives hope and optimism about the future. The time has come for all of us to make a contribution to the betterment of our country.
Criminality knows no race, no gender, no age, no religion and no political affiliation.
It affects us all. We must combat it together. We urge the CPF to mobilise all strata and sectors of society, irrespective of social, religious, political or ideological affiliation into crime prevention. It is also important that when we deal with issues of crime we should fully grasp its context as well as its complexity. The country is presently undergoing fundamental transformation including the police services.
