Thanks to SAPS and AfriForum 911’s cooperation, four suspects were arrested on 6 March. The suspects were allegedly responsible for a farm attack near Tweeling in the Free State. They were arrested close to the Lesotho border post. During the arrest, two handguns, ammunition, cash and five cell phones were found in the possession of the suspects, AfriForum said in a statement.

In another success, two underage children that went missing in Potgietersrus on 2 February 2019 were located unscathed in Pietersburg.

The third success entails the search for a missing person of Vosman that possibly wanted to commit suicide. This person was however also found unscathed.

AfriForum’s 911 team, the SAPS, as well as various other safety role-players all contributed to these successes.

“AfriForum 911 continually followed up on these cases and kept the SAPS informed with the latest information,” said Ian Cameron, AfriForum’s Head of Community Safety.
