Discussion with Luigi Maree and Lucinda Josias from the Rugby  West Neighbourhood Watch 


On February 21 2024, we had the opportunity to speak with Luigi Maree and Lucinda Josias from the Rugby  West Neighbourhood Watch.

The watch held a “meet your neighbour” social gathering, with a braai, music and jumping castle, at the Lincluden Street Park, last Saturday, but it drew only about 30 people.

They encouraged residents to join the watch, saying it had helped to reduce petty theft in the area but it lacked resources and the number of patrollers had thinned during winter.

The watch had worked hard to forge a relationship with the Milnerton police station and wanted to work with law-enforcement agencies to rid the area of brothels, drug dealers, and drug dens, they said.

The watch also ran clean-ups and fed the needy in the area

For more information about the watch, call 072 593 1687.
