Knowing your neighbours’ routines and being aware of their movements significantly increases the chances of noticing when something is amiss.

On 12 October at approximately 15:00 Fidelity ADT successfully apprehended a suspect in Kimberley.

The incident unfolded when a neighbour spotted an unfamiliar individual inside a customer’s yard. The neighbour promptly alerted the homeowner, who then contacted Fidelity ADT. Upon receiving the call, Fidelity ADT Reaction Officer Matebes immediately responded and arrived at the scene.

Charnel Hattingh, Group Head of Marketing & Communications at Fidelity ADT, praised the officer’s quick response. “Our team is trained to respond promptly to any potential security threats,” Hattingh said. “In this case, Reaction Officer Matebes’ immediate action ensured the safety of our customer’s property.”

Upon arrival, Matebes found the suspect still inside the yard and managed to apprehend him without incident. The suspect was later handed over to Sergeant Mohadile from Galeshewe SAPS.

“This incident is a testament to the effectiveness of community vigilance and quick response,” Hattingh added. “We encourage all community members to remain alert and report any suspicious activities in their neighbourhoods.”

  1. As a PR professional, you\’re more of a conductor than a soloist. – Laura Wasson Warfel, ‏@lwwarfel

  2. There are many inspirational Seth Godin quotes out there but that’s definitely one of our favorite ones: “PR isn’t about changing people’s minds; it’s about giving them something worth their attention.” – Seth Godin

  3. “We do need these two words, “public” and “relations”—and, of course, those words are still extremely important. However, those 3 billion people who are social media users are all dealing with “relations,” and everything has become “public”! With social media, everything has been “public” for quite a while now; there is nothing “nonpublic” anymore.” ~ Maxim Behar, The Global PR Revolution: How Thought Leaders Succeed in the Transformed World of PR
