YOUR PHONE. THEIR CURRENCY.
Every item stolen from your car buys
the bullets killing our children.
A smash-and-grab isn’t just a theft
it’s a vital link in a deadly chain.
Stolen phones and laptops don’t vanish.
They are traded on the black market,
becoming the currency that fuels gang wars.
Each device stolen is another weapon purchased, another gun loaded,
another life put at risk.
On the Cape Flats, gangs thrive on this trade.
Illegal firearms are bought with the very phones and laptops
snatched from unsuspecting drivers.
What feels like a “small crime” in the moment
is the first step in a cycle of violence that
devastates families and communities.
Every phone stolen is a shot fired.
Every laptop taken is another child in danger.
This is not just about property. It’s about lives.
It’s about the safety of our streets,
the future of our children, and our communities.
By protecting your property, you are protecting our communities
DON’T FEED THE CYCLE. BREAK IT.
A MOMENT OF CARELESSNESS CAN LAST A LIFETIME OR COST A LIFE.
BE EXTRA VIGILANT AROUND ROADWORKS
Whenever you enter an area and
there is construction be extra vigilant,
Always be aware of your surroundings,
Lock your doors and roll up your windows,
Hide your valuables,
Don’t talk on your cellphone,
Ensure there is enough space between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead of you to take evasive measures when necessary
Plan your routes and your travelling time
Take an alternate route, if possible, it may be longer but its safer.
DON’T RESIST, DON’T FIGHT BACK
STAY ALERT STAY ALIVE.
