Media Statement – Attempted Robbery Arrest in Durbanville

At 10:17am on 03 September 2026, a lady narrowly escaped an attempted robbery by two suspects in Church Street, Durbanville. Thankfully, she managed to get away unharmed.

Video footage was obtained, and the CPF together with Armed Response companies were immediately notified. A lookout was issued with the description of the suspects.

Upon receiving further information, the Durbanville SAPS Station Commander activated external resources and mobilized them to track down the suspects. In a joint collaboration, Metro Police and SAPS successfully arrested one of the suspects linked to the attempted robbery.

This arrest is the result of a united effort between SAPS, Metro Police, CPF, and Armed Response companies. It highlights once again the value of strong policing partnerships, quick reaction to information, and the community’s willingness to register criminal cases.

Well done to all involved.

PRESS RELEASE

Durbanville CPF Takes Positive Choices Message to Fisantekraal High School

Durbanville, 19 August 2026 — The Durbanville Community Policing Forum (CPF) today took its message of positive choices, personal responsibility and hope to Grade 10 and 11 learners at Fisantekraal High School.

Learners were encouraged to stand up for what is right, make positive decisions and prioritise their education as a foundation for a better future.

Homegrown actor Bradley Williams, together with community activist Bradwin Daniels, brought the message to life through a powerful stage performance highlighting how alcohol and drug abuse, fi****ms, gangsterism and teenage pregnancy can rob young people of opportunities and have a lasting impact on their families and communities.

The Durbanville CPF extends its sincere thanks to Cllr Kurt Oliver and Sgt Sithole of the SAPS Spiritual Crime Prevention Unit for helping make this important engagement possible, as well as to the Principal and staff of Fisantekraal High School for welcoming the initiative and supporting the programme.

The outreach forms part of the Durbanville CPF’s broader initiative to increase meaningful engagement with young people and build strong, sustainable partnerships with schools and churches across Durbanville.

“Our young people are not defined by the challenges around them. They have choices, potential and the power to shape their own future. Our responsibility as a community is to walk alongside them, equip them with the right support and remind them that there is always a better choice.”

Durbanville CPF — Building safer communities through partnership, prevention and positive engagement.

⚠️ COMMUNITY SAFETY ALERT – FISANTEKRAAL

The Community Police Forum (CPF) has been made aware of reports of an increase in house robberies in the area. The CPF wishes to share the following information with the community.

Current information indicates that a number of the reported incidents involve foreign nationals as complainants. It has also been reported that, in some instances, complainants leave the area after opening criminal cases, making further investigation more difficult.

Concerns have also been raised regarding the rental of residential properties and informal structures. Reports suggest that some residential houses are being rented to undocumented foreign nationals, while others intended for residential occupation are allegedly being used as business premises, including spaza shops. The CPF believes that the relevant authorities should investigate these concerns and ensure compliance with all applicable legislation.

The CPF further calls on the relevant municipal authorities to address the continued construction and occupation of informal structures in areas designated for formal housing. It has been reported that some informal structures remain occupied or are allegedly rented out after beneficiaries have taken occupation of their allocated homes. These concerns require the attention of the appropriate authorities.

The CPF also calls on the Department of Home Affairs and law enforcement agencies to conduct coordinated operations to verify the legal status of undocumented persons and to address criminal activity where it exists. Where operationally feasible, such operations may be more effective outside normal working hours, as many residents return home after 18:00.

There are ongoing concerns that some offenders may be using densely populated informal settlement areas to evade arrest. Community members are reminded that harbouring criminals or assisting them to avoid arrest is a criminal offence.

The CPF urges all residents to remain vigilant and take the following safety precautions:

• Lock all doors and gates before nightfall.
• Avoid walking in the streets while distracted by your cellphone.
• Do not open your door to unexpected visitors.
• Exercise caution, particularly if approached by groups of 5–6 unknown males.
• Avoid visiting shebeens and taverns late at night.
• Ensure that children are properly supervised and do not play in the streets without adult supervision.
• Do not send young children to shops on their own.
• Join your local Neighbourhood Watch and get to know your neighbours.
• Become involved in your street committee and help keep your street safe.
• Property owners are encouraged to ensure that all tenants are lawfully documented and that rental arrangements comply with South African law.

Community safety is everyone’s responsibility. If you witness suspicious activity or have information relating to criminal offences, please report it immediately to the South African Police Service or your local CPF. Working together, we can make Fisantekraal a safer community for all.

🚨 *SUCCESSFUL SECURITY OPERATION IN OUR COMMUNITY* 🚨

Last night, a joint security operation was conducted with W/O Fox and his team from Durbanville SAPS, together with armed response units CDF and Titanium, and dedicated members of Sonstraal Heights NHW and Kendal NHW.

The operation focused on the area around the Eskom power station in Fairtrees Road, as well as other identified hotspots where illegal activity has been reported. The objective was clear: to locate wanted criminals, remove drugs from our streets, and confiscate dangerous weapons.

✅ _*5 suspects arrested for possession of Tik, Mandrax, and dangerous weapons.*_

This is what strong collaboration and proactive policing look like. Every operation like this makes our community safer.

👏 A big thank you to all role players involved for their commitment and teamwork!

💙 *Together, we are making a difference.*
