We strongly oppose the early release of Renaties De Klerk (Prisoner No. 202535311), who has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the heinous crimes of rape, kidnapping, assault, and housebreaking.

Renaties De Klerk's offenses were committed in Caledon, and he is originally from Caledon. The proposal to release him on parole into the community of Boschmanskloof (Greyton), poses a significant risk to the safety and well-being of our community.

We believe that allowing a convicted criminal of such serious offenses to re-enter society, especially in a different community than where the crimes were committed, undermines the justice system and disregards the safety of Ward 2’s residents.

We urge the relevant authorities to reconsider this decision and to prioritize the safety and security of all citizens. We demand that Renaties De Klerk serves his full sentence and is not granted parole, ensuring he remains incarcerated for the duration of his life sentence.

Your support and signature on this petition are crucial in protecting our community from potential harm and ensuring that justice is upheld.
