Two incidents in May 2026 exposed a vulnerability in the greenbelt between Van Riebeeckshof and Oude Westhof. The trustees have made closing that gap the top security priority for the year.
The project will deploy a combination of thermal and bullet cameras to remove the blind spots, so that the belt can no longer be used as an undetected route into the suburb. The internal camera network follows as a second layer, once the greenbelt is covered.
It builds on the perimeter work completed in December 2025: 22 motion-triggered thermal cameras, solar-powered motion lighting along the full 2.2 km fence, and licence-plate recognition at the entrances.
From the chairperson’s report, June 2026.
Notices are posted by the trustees. If something here is out of date, please tell us.
