We as a community of Heidedal are taking a stand against the poor performance and conduct of the Station commander and his colleagues. We demand immediate improvement and accountability from them. We want a police station that is responsive, respectful, professional, and effective in ensuring a safe community for all.

We have lost confidence in the Station Commander's ability to lead and manage the Heidedal Police station. He has shown incompetence, indifference, and disregard to our community concerns and needs. He has failed to address the issues that the neighborhood watch has raised with him and to hold his subordinates accountable for their actions. He has allowed the Police station to become a source of frustration and fear for us rather than a source of support and protection. We demand that he be removed from his position and replaced by a capable and caring person.

We the Heidedal Civic Association will circulate a petition beforehand and plan to have a planned march on the 29th of October 2023. The march will be from the Normal Dubell Hall to the Heidedal Police Station.

There is no service at the Heidedal Police Station. Community Members suffer because of their Language. Sgt don't work on the cases Ref:case nr: 24/09/23 Sgt Mphonqosha

I fully agree, the neighborhood watch does not get the support of the police station as they should. The community at large is suffering the consequences.

The language is an issue there. There is always no transport or pesonnel when they are called out. There is no customer care I had to wait for always 20 minutes to be helped because the person helping with the certification of documents was on lunch. They are not vissible in the community. Only when they are busy when their own bussiness.

Heidedal police station is useless, they never answer their phone, never has a van available, can't speak Afrikaans which is the language of the majority of the people in Heidedal and the list goes on.

Absolutely no service delivery at the heidedal Police station especially in the early hours of the morning where you will find no police man on duty. My experience was reported to the station commander, needles to say i havent received any feedback from him concerning the matter hence I'm assuming nobody was reprimanded.
