Building A Safer,
CLEANER & CONNECTED NORTHRIDING

Dear Residents,

The Northriding Residents Association would like to urge all community members to exercise heightened caution and remain vigilant when walking, jogging, cycling, or exercising outdoors, particularly when alone.

Recent reports of several bodies being discovered in Gauteng have caused understandable concern within our communities. While information continues to emerge and some reports remain unconfirmed, these incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of personal safety and community awareness.

Please Take the Following Precautions:

1. Avoid walking or running alone, especially during early mornings, evenings, or in low-traffic areas.
2. Use well-populated and well-lit routes where there is regular pedestrian and vehicle activity.
3. Avoid isolated roads, open fields, undeveloped areas, or secluded pathways.
4. Consider exercising with a partner or group whenever possible.
5. Let family or friends know your intended route and expected return time.
6. Do not carry your mobile phone whilst running/walking. If you use headphones, ensure that you are able to hear your outside surround noises.
7. Keep your phone secured and out of sight. Stay aware of your surroundings and avoid becoming an easy target for opportunistic criminals. (If you really need on you at that time)
8. Remain aware of your surroundings and avoid distractions such as loud music or excessive phone usage.
9. Trust your instincts. If a situation or person makes you feel uncomfortable, move to a safer, more populated area immediately.

Community Safety Starts With All of Us

We encourage residents to look out for one another, report suspicious activity to the appropriate security providers, CPF and most importantly, SAPS and share credible information responsibly. 

We thank our NRA security partners for always showing their value add to our community and especially those who assist on the daily walking/running groups in the area. _Not all Superheroes wear capes_ 

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by these tragic events. Together, through awareness, vigilance, and community support, we can help create a safer environment for everyone.

Stay Alert. Stay Visible. Stay Safe.

Team NRA
