Average citizen goes unnoticed by the police department

Apr 14, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

About three weeks ago, burglars gained entry to our home and stole some electronic gadgets and appliances. The matter was reported at the Kitty Police Station and the detectives showed up about eight hours later to investigate. Since that day, there hasn’t been any update.
Mind you, my children were asleep in a room that the burglars went in to unplug one of the appliances they took, and since then my children are traumatised; they prefer to wet the bed or wake each other up to use the washroom.
There are CCTV cameras at both ends of the street and also businesses at both ends of the street with cameras installed.
What I noticed is that you only get attention when you vent your anger on social media or when people are murdered or have financial influence in this society. Then is when the police are at their best, but average persons like my family and I are left to fend for ourselves.
Since the incident, the only thing that I can take away from the situation is that we are alive, and I thank God, because later that day I realised all my knives were missing. So I’m grateful that we were asleep. Apart from that there are sleepless nights.
In conclusion, I’ll say this system is one big failure. Why is it you have to be murdered or be rich before the police department actually do their job. Doesn’t every citizen’s safety count in this country?
Disappointed citizen
