The Western Cape MEC of Community Safety Dan Plato believes the handover of a Safety Kiosk to the Tygerberg Hospital precinct will assist in the hospital’s ability to provide a safer environment for more efficient health service delivery.

The area is currently manned by 10 Chrysalis graduates as community liaison officers.

Ministerial Spokesperson Ewald Botha said the handover forms part of the Safety Partnership launched in April this year.

Botha said this mobile, high visibility point of safety has been deployed to Tygerburg Hospital since the end of June 2015 and is manned by 10 Chrysalis Graduates as community liaison officers within the hospital and on the precinct, using the Community Safety Kiosk as a base for their functioning.


He added that the effectiveness of the graduates is displayed in the statistics which show that they have assisted 638 members of the public within the first 2 weeks deployment.
