Dear Portfolio Committee on Police,

Cavin Solly Smit

States under oath in English.

I Cavin Solly Smit ID number 9307236433082 residing No. 400 Gousblom Street, Kalbaskraal. I am an adult coloured male unemployment and my contact number is 084 392 3428. On behalf on the Community of Kalbaskraal we wish to states under oath in English that.

On the 26 of August 2019 at about 15:07 we came to the SAPS Provincial Office to lodge a complainant with regards to Police service delivery. We feel that the police station in Malmesbury is too far and community of Kalbaskraal, which is approximately 20 km away from Malmesbury Police station does not fulfill all the needs of the community of kalbaskraal.

We currently seating with a situation where people were killed during an armed robbery that happened at Sha-Zah Center ant the owner of the shop was amongst the people who were shot dead Sunday the 25 of August 2019. Community members are fearing for their lives and the people who are eye witnesses on the case are being threatened by the perpetrators. It took the police approximately 30 minutes to arrive at the scene. We are of view that the problem might escalate and it need intervention.

We therefor request that the matter be treated as a matter of urgency. We also request that the matter be treated as a matter of urgency. We also request that police must organised an Imbiso/ Community engagement with the community of the kalbaskraal as soon as possible. We are here as the committee members of Kalbaskraal, My self (Mr Cavin Solly Smit) as the chairmen, Mr Thapelo Daniel Phohledi as the advisor of the committee, Mr Frankline Speelman the Secretary and Mr Gawin Fourtuin as the Spokesperson of the committee.

WE REQUEST URGENT ATTENTION ON THE MATTER!!!

AND I AM WILLING TO WALK THE LONG WALK FOR THEIR SAFETY.
