Ians, I would be laughing if it weren't for the fact that that is what really is happening in this cowntree. 19 years ago if you related that story to anybody, they would've thought you'd been watching a "carry-on" film with the late Syd James.....

It is a true story, the only thing we didn't recover was the drivers ID and his house keys. We found the jackhammer in a kitchen close to where the vehicle was recovered and the generator was in a hole they had pre dug and covered with sticks.

On the flip side, may I compliment the police personnel at Kwamakhutha Police Station just up the road from eManzimtoti. I had cause to go there this afternoon to recover one of our vehicles that had been stolen yesterday. Helpful, professional, pleasant - absolutely first class

And as we went through the area to where the vehicle had been found, it seemed clear to me that this was team with a very healthy relationship with the community they serve.

Definitely a credit to the SAPS. Community policing just as it should be from what I could tell.

Its good to hear some positives as well. Effective policing is all about community involvement.
