South Africa: Provincial Commissioner Hands Over Mobile Community Service Centre to Kranskop Community

press release

The days of waiting for public transport or walking long distances in order to access the services of the police or to report crime are finally over for the rural community of Kranskop in Greytown. Seeing the old and infirm braving the scorching heat of the summer sun and the icy-cold winter weather to get to the Kranskop Police Station, touched the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mmamonnye Ngobeni. She handed over a fully equipped mobile Community Service Centre (CSC) to the community on Tuesday, 3 July 2012. "This mobile Community Service Centre is an initiative to enhance service delivery in the Kranskop policing precincts and is for your benefit so I urge you to take advantage and utilise it fully.

This facility offers you the basic services that you would get from a police station and includes the certifying of documents, reporting of criminal cases for investigation, signing of affidavits by a commissioner of oaths and reporting of motor vehicle accidents or any other matter that deserves police attention. The presence of the mobile CSC will deter criminals from operating in this area so now your community, especially the vulnerable women and children, will also be safer." said General Ngobeni.
