Safe houses for people in distress REPORTER
T
he recent establishment of twelve (12) Safe Houses is being supported by Business Against Crime (Eastern Cape). The Safe Houses are the homes of community volunteers, who are willing to protect school children, women, and any other resident who requires a safe haven until official and professional assistance can be obtained. According to Business Against Crime (EC) Managing Director Bryan Howard, these are the first of many safe houses which will be established. “The establishment of Safe Houses is but one aspect of the ‘Rapid Urban Response’ pro-active crime-fighting project that Business Against Crime has been spearheading in the Metro during the past four years. “We realised that there was a dire need for safe houses in virtually each block in the Northern Areas and other parts of the metro, and we decided to be active and help in this regard,” said Howard. “Community volunteers living in the residential corridor between Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage/Despatch are not only conducting regular patrols under the aegis of the police, but are also establishing houses of temporary refuge for residents in distress, known as Safe Houses,” Howard added. Howard said all the members and volunteers are members of registered Neighbourhood Watch Forums, Sector Crime Sub-Forums and Community Police Forums. “Each Safe House is occupied by someone who is trained to assist residents needing emergency assistance. The Safe House occupier has direct links with the local SAPS station, municipal emergency services, the local trauma/stress clinic, all local schools and churches, the poi-
sons information Centre, hospitals, as well as a reputable private security company, for 24/7 backup and support,” he explained. Howard said some Safe House operators also have 2-way VHF radio links with nearby “Safe House” operators, and “Rapid Urban Response”
patrollers and controllers. The 12 Safe Houses already completed are in the Northern areas, in places such as Jacksonville, Kwanoxolo, Arcadia, Timothy Valley, Barcelona, Ext 31, Ext 21, West-end and Bethelsdorp. Howard said they’ve trained ±3 000 volunteers
during the past two years, with some 1 500 actively patrolling their neighbourhoods. “This initiative is funded by our private-sector supporters; and we also provide all the training and support equipment courtesy of our generous corporate funders,” said Howard.
