Belhar Ext 7 NHW combating crime

February 17, 2023

Great news everyone! We are thrilled to share that the Belhar Ext 7 Neighbourhood Watch patrollers have been doing an amazing job keeping their community safe over the past few months, thanks to the bicycles they received as part of the Provincial Sustainable Transport Programme!

Since receiving the bikes in partnership with the Western Province Transport and Public Works Department, Pedal Power Association, the patrollers have been able to cover more ground and respond more efficiently to incidents in their community.

Their success can be seen in the significant reduction of crime in the area. The patrollers have been instrumental in identifying suspicious behavior and preventing potential incidents, resulting in a safer and more secure neighborhood for all.

We applaud the dedication and commitment of the Belhar Ext 7 Neighbourhood Watch patrollers, and we are proud to support their efforts in keeping their community safe.

Congratulations to the patrollers on their successful patrols, and a big thank you to the organizations involved in making this possible!

Freedom on a bike

April 19, 2022
Cycling offers a world of freedom. A bike presents a world of reliable transport and fresh perspective.
Robert uses his bike to travel 10km to get to work, a trip that would previously take several taxis, an hour, and up to R1000 a month. Now he saves time, money and has the independence to plan his route, thriving on the convenience of freedom. If he wants to visit someone or stop for groceries, he doesn’t need to plan anything.
Here’s to bikes and the beauty of the convenience they offer! Thanks Rob for your appreciation of the two wheeled machine of freedom, we love to see it!

Empowering people on Bicycles!

Gavin can’t imagine a life without cycling. After being gifted his bicycle, he has seen a shift in his life, gaining a new job and a new fresh sense of well-being.
From not knowing where to turn, Gavin now has a job, a mode of transport that saves him R1000 a month on travel costs, and a fresh sense of inspiration. Gavin has said that his bike is his best friend, and it’s given him a brand new sense of independence and confidence.
Brad bought Gavin the bike from On Bike in Westlake. Thanks Brad for supporting Gavin and well done to Gavin, we are so proud!
