As part of its annual process of identifying the policing needs and priorities for the Province, the Western Cape Department of Community Safety (DoCS) hosted a two-day workshop for the Paarl/Stellenbosch Cluster on 22 and 23 May 2015.
The Policing Needs and Priorities (PNP) workshops are derived from Section 206(1) of the Constitution which requires the Minister of Police to determine national policing policy after consulting with provincial governments and taking into account the policing needs and priorities of the provinces as determined by the provincial executives. In addition to this, Section 23 of the Western Cape Community Safety Act 3 of 2013 provides that the Provincial Minister responsible for policing must submit the policing needs and priorities to the Provincial Cabinet and to the National Minister.
In the past few years, DoCS has identified the policing needs and priorities (PNPs) through different mechanisms. This has included community based surveys to understand perceptions of safety and concerns of members of the community; engagements with members of the community through a series of workshops for each policing cluster; and desktop research of safety and policing issues.
The Department noted that whilst policing needs and priorities are identified and submitted to the National Minister for consideration, these needs and priorities are not necessarily taken into consideration when resources are allocated to the various provinces and police stations. The 2015 PNP programme will, in an effort to increase safety service delivery, primarily focus on assisting communities to draft safety plans. The safety plans are designed to assist communities to address the safety concerns that were identified during the 2014 PNP engagement sessions, as well as any current concerns identified. The safety plans identify roles and responsibilities for relevant stakeholders including the South African Police Service (SAPS), the Community Police Forums (CPFs), DoCS and other departments and community structures. They will be implemented by the CPFs and SAPS with the support of the Department of Community Safety, which will also monitor its implementation.
The development of the community safety plans are conducted within the framework of the Department’s Community Safety Improvement Partnership (CSIP). Taking into account national and provincial strategic goals, and its constitutional and legal mandate, DoCS has developed a strategy for increasing safety within a ‘whole of society’ approach. The CSIP is designed around three outputs, namely:
1. To promote professional policing through effective oversight;
2. To make all public buildings and spaces safe; and
3. To establish viable safety partnerships within communities.
In addition, the Department aims to determine the perceptions of participants in regard to their experience of policing, criminal justice role-players, as well as safety in the community. To this
5
end, a Community Safety Scorecard was developed and participants of the PNP workshop were asked to complete the survey.
The objectives of the PNP workshops are:
1. To engage the communities of all 16 SAPS Clusters on their policing needs and priorities.
2. To assist 16 clusters to draft community safety plans based on the 2014 PNP policing needs and priorities, and taking into account additional relevant information;
3. To determine the community’s perception with a Community Safety Scorecard research tool.
During 2015, 16 stakeholder engagement workshops will be held with representatives of the community and stakeholders to consult on the policing needs and priorities and to develop community safety plans. The Paarl/Stellenbosch Cluster was the first in a series of 16 such PNP stakeholder engagement workshops.
The 16 workshops are designed to include the SAPS precincts forming part of each of the 16 clusters. Invited stakeholders include representatives of the South African Police Service (SAPS), Community Police Forums (CPFs), Neighbourhood Watches (NHW), non-governmental and community based organisations, faith based organisations, relevant government departments and municipal management, as well as any interested member of the public. Each engagement consists of a two-day workshop. During the session, participants developed a community safety plan after selecting key priority issues that were identified in the 2014 PNP process and after consideration of any additional issues.
Primary data on the indicators of the Community Safety Scorecard was collected directly from participants by means of a questionnaire, and administered electronically through crowd sourcing technology. Secondary data sources such as previous PNP reports, DoCS briefing reports and SAPS presentations were used to augment the primary data.
The Department invited stakeholders who it understands are concerned with safety in their communities. In addition, invitations are also extended to members of the public. Nonetheless, the workshops are mainly attended by people who are working in or are actively engaged in the crime and safety environment. As a result, the concerns that form the basis of the discussions for the safety plans are based very much on the participants’ own experience and interests. To some extent, plans are developed involving role-players who might not be present, and it therefore requires a further step to involve them in the implementation of the safety plans.
As regards the Community Safety Scorecard, the perceptions are those of participants of the workshops. Due to their engagement with the safety issues, their experience of working with CPFs or NHWs and their relationship with the SAPS, their responses might be more reflective of their own experiences than being representative of the broader community.

The questionnaire was developed in English, but DoCS staff members were available to assist to provide isiXhosa and Afrikaans translations to participants where required. However, it is possible that since English is not the home language of the majority of participants that there may have been some misinterpretation of the questions, as well as the responses.
The Paarl Stellenbosch cluster consists of nine police precincts namely, Cloetesville, Franschhoek, Groot-Drakenstein, Klapmuts, Mbekweni, Paarl, Paarl East, Stellenbosch and Wellington. It is situated in the Cape Winelands District municipality. The main towns in this district municipality are Stellenbosch, Paarl and Wellington. Agriculture, manufacturing, finance and business services are the key economic sectors in these two local municipalities. Agriculture is the biggest employer in each of the local municipalities or local economy.1
Overall, the population in the cluster increased by 24.4 % from 293 371 to 388 222 between 2001 and 2011. Cloetesville had a significant population growth of 54,6%, Paarl East grew by 49,5%, Wellington by 40% and Paarl by 34%.2

During the PNP consultative process in 2015, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire on their perceptions of professional policing, safety at public buildings and spaces and partnerships as a vehicle to understanding perceptions of levels of safety. These questions will be asked again in the next year to determine any change in perception relating to these three areas.
To some extent, the results of the 2015 scorecard are compared with the results of the community perception survey that participants of the 2014/2015 PNP process completed.5
Results have also been compared with the national Victims of Crime Survey conducted in 2013/2014.6
The results of the community scorecard are discussed according to the three CSIP thematic areas.
Seventy nine (79) participants completed the survey. Figure 1 above shows that the majority of participants (42.2%) were from NHWs and 18.8% were CPF members. The third largest group was from SAPS with 17.2% participants.

The majority of respondents (26.6%) were from the Stellenbosch precinct followed by Paarl East (20.3%) and Mbekweni (15.6%).
Promoting Professional Policing (PPP) is one of the key priorities of the Department of Community Safety as articulated in the Community Safety Improvement Partnership (CSIP), Western Cape Community Safety Act (WCCSA) and the National Development Plan (NDP). It is also a priority for SAPS.7 Professional policing relates to the manner in which the police conduct their services, and the relationship they have with the communities. The CSIP considers effective oversight of policing as a mechanism to promote professional policing and partnerships.

respondents (72%) felt that the police treat the community with courtesy and respect.Respondents were undecided whether they had access to information from the police on their services as 52% felt they had whilst 48% felt that they do not.
The overwhelming majority of respondents (75%) agreed that the police arrest criminals in their areas, whilst only (25%) disagreed with the statement.
A small majority of respondents (54%) agreed that the police do provide feedback and progress reports on any case reported to them, whilst 46% disagreed. The majority of respondents (67%) felt that SAPS do recover stolen property reported to them whilst only 33% disagreed with the statement.
Similarly the majority of the respondents (56%) felt that the police do not respond on time to crime scenes whilst a significant 44% disagreed with the statement. This is compared with the 2014 PNP report findings where the majority of the respondents (53.52%) who had reported a crime within the last 12 months indicated that SAPS arrived at the crime scene within 30 minutes, whilst 38.03% indicated that SAPS arrived within an hour, and 8.45% reported that SAPS did not arrived at all. When SAPS votes were eliminated from the pool of respondents; the percentage for the less than 15 min category dropped significantly from 30.99% to 21.33%.8 Broadly the above responses are less positive than the Victims of Crime Survey which found that the majority (78%) of respondents in the Western Cape felt that the police do come to the crime scenes.9

Respondents were also divided about feeling safe in public commercial/retail places (shopping malls, spaza shops) both at night and day. The majority of respondents (67%) felt safe in public commercial/ retail places during the day, whilst a third of them (33%) felt unsafe during the day. This trend changed at night time when only 44% felt safe accessing public commercial/retail places (shopping malls, spaza shops) at night.
A small majority of respondents (56%) felt safe when accessing communal services during the day but only 25% feel safe to do so at night. This represents a significant problem for people who are reliant on communal services, especially in informal settlement areas.
The respondents were divided about their safety levels in open spaces and recreational areas during the day as 47% feel safe in open spaces and recreational areas during the day, whilst (53%) felt unsafe. The majority of respondents (81%) felt unsafe in open spaces andrecreational areas at night.

More than half of respondents (67%) felt safe using public transport during the day, but this dropped to 41% at night. The Victims of Crime Survey (2013/14) revealed that 24.2% of households in the Western Cape that have participated in the survey were prevented from using public transport because of fear of crime.10 The majority of respondents in the Paarl/Stellenbosch cluster (62%) felt unsafe in public transportation hubs (taxi ranks/bus/train stations) at night whilst only 38% felt safe. During the day respondents almost felt equally safe (53%) and unsafe (47%) in public transportation hubs (taxi ranks/bus/train stations) during the day.
The majority of respondents (75%) felt safe when travelling in their private vehicles during the day, but only 57% felt safe at night.

Partnerships lie at the heart of community safety and is underpinned by the concept of making safety everyone’s responsibility. No single agency alone can make an impact. It is important that all partners and stakeholders work together to increase safety in this Province.This section looked at how participants viewed the role and contribution of the CPFs, Neighbourhood Watches, Community Safety Forums and Reservists Programme.
The respondents perceived the role and contribution of the CPFs, Neighbourhood Watches, Community Safety Forums and Reservists Programme in terms of their contribution towards safety in the community and ranked them as follows:
1. Neighbourhood Watch programme (92% agreed)2. SAPS Reservist Programme (89% agreed) 3. Community Police Forums (80% agreed)4. Community Safety Forums (76% agreed)
This ranking of importance is not surprising given the representation of NHW, CPFs and SAPS members who completed the survey. Nonetheless, the response demonstrates that participants understand and support the importance of members of the community working together with the police to ensure safety in the community.

The community consultative process in 2015/16 is focused on developing community safety plans based on the policing needs and priorities that had been identified during the 2014/15 PNPs. Information shared during the course of the workshop, as well as additional sources of information was also taken into account. The safety plan seeks to increase community involvement for its own safety. This approach seeks to promote making safety everyone’s responsibility and local accountability for safety levels. This is in accordance with the integrated approach to crime and safety in line with the Community Safety Improvement Partnership (CSIP).11
The cluster priorities reflect the activities as contained in the Safety Plan compiled at the workshop, and attached as Annexure 1. The safety concerns for the cluster were identified and drawn from the PNP 2014/15 process, and grouped according to the key elements of the CSIP. Participants were divided into groups and asked to prioritise concerns from the list, and to prepare action plans to address their key concerns. These were later compiled into a safety plan, which was presented back to the participants on the second day of the workshop.
The key concerns identified were:
1. Conduct of police and community service centres2. The police respond slowly to crime scenes or they do not respond at all.3. There are insufficient vehicles and police officials at police stations in the cluster.
11 Department of Community Safety. (2015). Annual Performance Plan 2015/16, p. 18. Department of Community Safety-Vote 4. Western Cape Government. Also see National Planning Commission. (2011). National Development Plan (NDP). Vision for 2030. National Planning Commission: Pretoria. And also see Western Cape Community Safety Act, Act No 3 of 2013.
25
4. Concern about the ATM at the garage in sector 1 was reported to the Sector Manager
but no actions were taken by SAPS.5. There are many burglaries and robberies at residential areas, but members of the
community need to be made aware of how to take steps to increase their own safety.6. There is a lack of municipal involvement in taking measures to increase safety.7. An increase in business robberies in the area, especially of spaza shops.8. There is an increase of illegal liquor outlets and drug outlets, especially in council
housing.9. Both legal and illegal liquor outlets are not properly regulated. They are attended by
under age children, and they are noisy and a disturbance to neighbours.10. There is prevalent abuse of alcohol and drugs at many schools in the area.11. Learners are not attending school and are bunking school, especially at Ikaya Primary
School. Learners roaming the streets become vulnerable to crime.12. The elderly are vulnerable to crime in public spaces such as malls and on pay days.13. Illegal drag racing on public roads when law enforcement officials are not on duty.14. People are robbed on trains and in train stations. There are insufficient police in these
areas and they do not investigate such crimes.
15. CPFs are not making full use of the Expanded Partnership Programme (EPP) reporting system and are not accessing the funds that are available to support their work.
16. CPFs are not fully aware of their roles and responsibilities.17. The community is not aware of the roles and responsibilities of the CPF and accordingly
do not use them as the first line of complaint.18. Current NHW structures and not trained or professional.19. It is difficult to recruit and retain safety volunteers as they receive no payment for their
services. 20. There is a lack of communication between SAPS and the NHW in the cluster, and lack of
support.21. Need to ensure that quality services are provided by VEP volunteers to victims of crime.
Any plan is only as good as its implementation and thus the role of the Cluster CPF would be to finalise the Cluster Safety Plan (Annexure 1) in partnership with SAPS and to ensure its implementation. They should also ensure that elements of the safety plan are taken up by each CPF as appropriate.
The Department of Community Safety will make funding available through the Expanded Partnership Programme (EPP) to all participating CPFs and will make further matching grantsavailable to participating CPFs. The Department will also enter into MOUs with Local Municipalities to facilitate access its CSIP Programme. Furthermore, DoCS will provide support to CPFs where required to support them in the implementation.
Implementation of the safety plan will be partly monitored via the CPF EPP monthly reporting mechanisms as well as via the Municipal IDPs ito MOUs entered into with them.

Overall, the population in the cluster grew by 24.4% to 388 222 between 2001 and 2011. The largest population growth took place in Cloetesville, Paarl East and Wellington. Over the 5-year period, the three crime categories (contact crime, crime detected as a result of police action and property crime) increased significantly in the cluster by 19.79%. The PNP data revealed that most respondents do not feel safe at night on the streets, in public areas and while using public transport in the cluster.
This report on the local state of safety in the local community provides the basis for SAPS and the community to provide informed preventive interventions in accordance with the safety plan. The report also revealed that there is the momentum to develop partnerships in the community, and there is a shared understanding that the police cannot alone fight crime. Rather, this is the shared responsibility of all stakeholders. Part of the key task is the implementation of the safety plan and the monitoring of its implementation.
This report presents the safety concerns and desired outcomes for the Paarl/StellenboschCluster with one overall goal: to increase wellness, safety and reduce social ills. As discussed in the report safety needs, concerns and perceptions call for concerted interventions that should be continuously monitored. The realisation of this goal depends on all the responsible implementing agents identified in the safety plan working together to build a safer Paarl/Stellenbosch Cluster. The developed safety plan is a first step towards achieving that goal.
