Dear Radio owner.

Thank you to all the members that paid their license fee for 2023.

Part of being a member of the Neighbourhood Watch is that you own a radio and pay your license fees yearly. Unfortunately, I must report that only 39.38% of radio owners paid their licenses for 2023.

The benefit of being a member of the Neighbourhood Watch is that you have a way to immediately summon help if needed. The average Security Company responds in 5 to 8 minutes. Your neighbours could be there in 40 seconds. The website www.doringkloof.net is a valuable free-of-charge resource. You are part of a caring community.

To avoid being in contravention of the law and you do not want to belong, please arrange to have your radio deprogrammed by contacting Gerhard Prinsloo at 072 157 2479.

We are now contemplating changing the rules where instead of paying license fees we pay membership fees, and the Neighbourhood watch will pay the license fees on your behalf. A certificate will then be issued to each member for that year. Watch this space for more info on that.
