Our objective is to proactively improve safety and security in the Ihawu Lethu area for the benefit of our Ihawu Lethu members and the broader community as a whole by inter alia the following:

Collaboration

Collaborating and engaging with all sectors of the community, security companies, land and business owners, companies, residents, traditional leaders, community policing forums, the various organs of state, SAPS, emergency services, NPO's, churches and other community associations to work together to combat crime and restore safety and security.

Volunteers

Steward and facilitate a delegated voluntary community watch framework supported and sustained through membership and donations to allow for optimal and effective prevention and reaction to crime.

Intelligence

Build in house security assets, acquire knowledge and an intel base ensuring our own independence of any security companies to effectively combat crime and achieve our objectives of restoring safety and security.

Value

On behalf of our members, broker and facilitate cost effective valuable service delivery from the local security companies.

Snipr Camera Initiative

lhawu Lethu Farmers Security Committee together with Hawks Protection Sevices, have implemented a Snipr Camera initiative. These strategic sites have had a significant proactive security impact in our community and surrounding areas.

The cameras detect and record number plates of all passing vehicles. Any flagged vehicles in South Africa are detected and local security companies are notified automatically, and as a result can respond immediately.

These cameras are operational 24 hours a day. They have been set up along our lhawu Lethu perimeter to cover access points for a radius of approximately 50,000 hectares. The data is saved and can be retrieved for crime reporting.
The cameras are positioned in such a way to cover the approximate perimeter areas:
Upper Tongaat, Cranbrook, Esenembe, Glendale, Tinley Manor, Compensation and Maidstone.
