June 2023
​We welcome Petrus van Niekerk in the newly created end-editor post. Petrus is no stranger to us here at the magazine and we are looking forward to our next level with him on the team. We provide some views on policing in South Africa after the widely reported “blue light brigade incident” that happened on 3 July 2023 in Gauteng Province. We address the habit of the media to confuse the terms “community policing forum” and “community police forum” through an open note to Brigadier Athlenda Mathe of the South African Police Service (SAPS).

South Africa reaches position number 7 in the world (out of 193 countries) on the Organised Crime Index. We point out that 75 people are murdered per day in South Africa, in comparison to 16,6 people killed on average per day in the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
