SAFETY NOTICE TO CYCLISTS IN STELLENBOSCH

Stellenbosch Traffic Services, Law Enforcement and the South African Police Service (SAPS) continue to conduct regular visible patrols and enforcement operations along identified cycling routes, including the R310 Helshoogte Road, R304 near Kayamandi, and other areas of concern within the Stellenbosch municipal area.

These collaborative efforts aim to improve safety, deter criminal activity, and maintain a visible law enforcement presence for all road users, including cyclists.

Cyclists and community members are encouraged to remain vigilant and to formally report suspicious activity, criminal incidents or safety concerns. While information shared on community and social media groups can help raise awareness, formal reporting is important to ensure incidents can be recorded, investigated, and considered as part of crime pattern analysis and operational planning.

To report an incident or safety concern, please contact:

đź“ž SITI Control Room (24/7): 064 543 0644
đź“ž Stellenbosch Municipal Control Room: 021 808 8999
📱 Municipal WhatsApp: 079 622 4722
đźš” Criminal matters can also be reported to your nearest SAPS police station.

Accurate and timely reporting helps the relevant authorities identify trends, allocate resources, and focus enforcement efforts where they are most needed.

Please remain alert, report concerns, and look out for one another on our roads.

Weekly Safety Update | SITI in Action

Another week of visible patrols, community assistance and proactive interventions across the SITI-SRA area.

This week, SITI Public Safety Officers attended to a range of public safety and public order matters, with a notable increase in drug-related activity and vagrancy requiring attention.

During stop-and-search interventions, tik pipes were found and destroyed, while mandrax was removed from the streets.

Other matters attended to included:

• Vagrants, bin scratchers, sleeping in public and illegal car guards addressed.
• Parking violations addressed, with fines issued where applicable.
• Complaints relating to gambling in public attended to.
• Medical assistance provided, including assistance to a student.
• A bin scratcher was found in possession of suspected stolen scrap metal. Following an investigation, the Checkers manager confirmed that no permission had been given for the metal to be removed. The items were subsequently returned.

The increase in drug-related activity and vagrancy remains a concern, and SITI Public Safety Officers will continue to focus on proactive patrols, stop-and-search interventions and visible presence throughout the area.

Thank you to Law Enforcement, the Rent-a-Cop Project, SAPS, Stellenbosch Municipality, emergency services, and all our safety partners for their continued collaboration and support.

DID YOU KNOW?

A New CCTV Camera Network for the SITI Area

SITI is taking a significant step forward in strengthening safety and security with the rollout of an extensive new CCTV camera network across the SITI area.

Phase 1 will include 124 cameras across 33 strategic sites, comprising:

• LPR cameras for vehicle number plate identification
• PTZ cameras for rotating and zooming surveillance
• Bullet cameras providing fixed surveillance of identified areas

The expanded network will be monitored from the SITI Control Room at Boland College, supported by additional servers and monitoring screens.

Equipment procurement is currently under way, with the phased rollout to follow. Phase 1 is targeted for completion by the end of 2027.

This project will further strengthen SITI’s ability to monitor the area, support proactive safety efforts and assist in responding to incidents.

124 cameras. 33 strategic sites. One significant step forward for safety in the SITI area.

PARKING REMINDER | “I’m only going to be a minute…”

A quick stop is still subject to parking rules.

Please help keep Stellenbosch accessible and safe by respecting No Parking and No Stopping restrictions, keeping entrances and access points clear, leaving designated accessible parking available for authorised users, respecting loading zones and parking fully within marked bays.

Stellenbosch Municipality’s Parking By-law includes specific provisions relating to parking restrictions, loading zones, bus stops, parking across entrances, designated parking for disabled persons, marked parking bays and time-limited parking.

Parking restrictions aren’t only about avoiding a fine. A vehicle left in the wrong place, even briefly, can prevent someone from accessing their home or business, obstruct other road users or occupy a space specifically reserved for someone who needs it.

A convenient parking spot for you shouldn’t become an inconvenience for someone else.

Park legally. Keep access clear. Be considerate.

Weekly Safety Update | SITI in Action

SITI Public Safety Officers remained active across the SITI-SRA area this past week, conducting proactive patrols, responding to incidents, and assisting members of the public.

Key incidents and interventions included:

* A suspicious male was apprehended in possession of a dangerous weapon and an imitation firearm. The suspect was linked to the robbery of two individuals.
* Another suspicious male was apprehended for possession of a dangerous weapon.
* A suspect was apprehended for damage to property while under the influence of alcohol.
* Two suspicious males were found in possession of possible stolen property, including bank cards and an ID document.
* During patrols, officers discovered a vehicle with a broken window. Valuables were still inside and, after the owner arrived, it was confirmed that nothing had been taken. The incident was treated as an attempted theft out of motor vehicle.
* A member of the public became suspicious after being approached by males claiming that payment was required for parking and alerted a restaurant manager, potentially preventing a scam.
* Suspicious persons were addressed during patrols, with tik pipes found and destroyed where applicable. Tik pipes were also found during Taxi Rank operations.
* Complaints relating to vagrancy, sleeping in public, illegal structures and bin scratching were addressed.
* Fines were issued for drinking in public, making an illegal fire and parking on red lines.
* Medical assistance was provided to a severely intoxicated student who had fallen and sustained a head injury. EMS was contacted.
* Officers assisted a member of the public by helping to push a broken-down vehicle out of the roadway to improve the flow of traffic.

These incidents once again highlight the importance of proactive patrols, visible policing, and community awareness. If something doesn’t look or feel right, report it.

Thank you to Law Enforcement, the Rent-a-Cop Project, SAPS, emergency services, and our other safety partners for their continued collaboration.

⚠️ WARNING | WhatsApp Scams

WhatsApp account takeovers are affecting South Africans. Once an account is compromised, scammers may impersonate the owner and ask their contacts for “emergency” money.

Protect yourself: Never share your WhatsApp verification code, enable Two-Step Verification, check your Linked Devices regularly and avoid suspicious links or QR codes.

Most importantly, if someone you know suddenly asks you for money on WhatsApp, call them directly before paying anything.

Stop. Check. Call. Then act.
