News – South Africa: Radio stations unite against crime

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Talk Radio 702’s crime line – the anonymous tip-off service – and Jacaranda 94.2 on Wednesday united against crime by signing a memorandum of understanding.

Representatives from the crime line, Jacaranda 94.2 and the SAPS attended the occasion at the Jacaranda broadcast centre in Midrand to celebrate the partnership between one of South Africa’s most listened radio station and crime line.

The crime line was launched by Primedia in July 2007. Tip-offs from the public have led to the arrest of 610 suspects.

“We want to make people more aware of our cause and help them take back control of their lives,” said Kuben Pillay, the acting CEO of Primedia.

According to spokesperson Pippa Rowles, they hope to get media from around South Africa to form associations against crime with crime line.

“We have committed to support the crime line campaign by promoting the initiative on air and get our staff and our 2,4-million listeners involved in this project,” said Alan Khan, CEO of Jacaranda.

“We understand the huge impact that crime has on our country and are extremely proud to support this campaign because it empowers the public – many of whom have been victims – to make a positive contribution in the fight against crime,” Khan said.

“We’re excited about our new association with Jacaranda 94.2, as this will send the crime line message – to blow the whistle on crime – to a large audience that stretches across Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the North West province,” said crime line head, Yusuf Abramjee.
