The cooperation of all users of municipal water is essential and is greatly appreciated.
The George Municipality is deeply concerned about the ongoing removal, theft, and vandalism of road signage and delineators in areas where roadworks occur, particularly on weekends.
Tampering with or stealing road signage is a criminal offence and poses a serious safety risk to motorists, pedestrians, and workers. Missing or displaced signage can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. Replacing these essential safety measures to comply with the approved Traffic Management Plan incurs significant costs.
To address this issue, contractors conduct daily checks and over weekends to reinstate stolen or damaged signage. However, we need the public’s support to end this criminal activity.
We urge residents to report any incidents of theft or vandalism immediately to SAPS and George Municipality Law Enforcement at 044 801 6350 (or 044 801 6300 after hours). If it is safe to do so, capturing photos of the offenders in action can greatly assist in enforcement efforts.
Your cooperation is essential in safeguarding our infrastructure and ensuring road safety for everyone. Thank you for your support.
OPENBARE KENNISGEWING: Help asseblief om diefstal van tekens en vandalisme te voorkom
Uitgereik deur George Munisipaliteit, 17 Maart 2025
Die George munisipaliteit is diep bekommerd oor die voortdurende verwydering, diefstal en vandalisme van padtekens en afbakenings in gebiede waar padwerke voorkom, veral oor naweke.
Om met padtekens te peuter of te steel is ‘n misdaad en hou ‘n ernstige veiligheidsrisiko vir motoriste, voetgangers en werkers in. Ontbrekende of verplaasde tekens kan tot ongelukke, beserings en selfs sterftes lei. Die vervanging van hierdie noodsaaklike veiligheidsmaatreëls om aan die goedgekeurde verkeersbestuursplan te voldoen, hou aansienlike kostes in.
Om hierdie probleem aan te spreek, doen kontrakteurs daaglikse kontroles en oor naweke om gesteelde of beskadigde naamborde te herstel. Ons het egter die gemeenskap se ondersteuning nodig om hierdie misdrywe te beëindig.
Ons doen ‘n beroep op inwoners om enige voorvalle van diefstal of vandalisme onmiddellik by die polisie en George Munisipaliteit se Wetstoepassingsafdeling by 044 801 6350 of 044 801 6300 (na-ure) aan te meld. As dit veilig is om dit te doen, kan die neem van foto’s van die oortreders in aksie baie help met wetstoepassingspogings.
U samewerking is noodsaaklik om ons infrastruktuur te beskerm en padveiligheid vir almal te verseker. Dankie vir u ondersteuning.
