In hierdie verband is ons bemoedig deur leiers in die sake- en godsdienstige gemeenskappe se vasbeslotenheid om sodanige vennootskappe op voetsoolvlak te verstewig, en om van hulle tyd en hulpbronne af te staan om meer slaankrag aan die geveg teen misdaad te verleen. Die Regering sal sy deel doen om te sorg dat hierdie vennootskappe inderdaad werk, en dat ons almal saam sal optree in die nakoming van die verantwoordelikheid om ons burgers te beskerm.
In this regard, we are heartened by the resolve shown by leaders of the business and religious communities further to strengthen such partnerships on the ground, and to give of their time and resources to strengthen the fight against crime. Government will play its part to ensure that these partnerships actually work, and that we all act together to discharge the responsibility to protect our citizens.
