Prevention is better than cure. We are calling on

Prevention is better than cure. We are calling on all Obs residents to be proactive when it comes to safety in our community. Please remove all valuables from your vehicle and keep your car doors and property doors and gates locked. Report all crime and suspicious activity to SAPS and the 24/7/365 OBSID control room. #OBSID #KeepingObsSafe #OBSIDSAFETY #ObservatoryCapeTown #ILoveObs

#Obz Rainbow House: please consider supporting the house!

We need to raise funds to help keep the house open through winter. Thanks to the @obspastakitchen for coming on board as our fundraising partner.

#GiveResponsibly: If you’re going to give to tho

#GiveResponsibly: If you’re going to give to those living on the streets, do it in a way that makes a positive difference – donate to a NPO working with this community or the OBSID’s social development projects. By handing out cash, you’re often handing out a problem – to the person with a substance dependency, to those walking by who have to deal with antisocial behaviour, to the cleaning teams who often get called out to clean up human waste and mess, to law enforcement and SAPS officials who have their time taken up attending to petty crime and bylaw violations.

Do you need to access the children’s and dog par

Do you need to access the children’s and dog parks? Come to the OBSID office and collect a key in return for the payment of a deposit of R50-00.
Please keep in mind that OBSID is only responsible for the administration of keys, how people and dogs behave is up to them – so be considerate of other users of the spaces. #OBSIDSAFETY #KeepingObsSafe #ObservatoryCapeTown #ILoveObs

Meet the team: Stoney Steenkamp, Area Manager, OBSID

According to my ID book, my name is Petrus Steenkamp, but everyone calls me Stoney – so “Stoney” it is.

I grew up in Simon’s Town and completed all my schooling in Simon’s Town.

I joined SAPS in 1994. For 17 years I worked with the police force, most recently with the Detective Branch in Ocean View.

In 2012 I started working at Acacia Mining in Tanzania where I completed Diploma’s in Security Risk Management as well as Work Health and Safety in 2014. I studied through an Australian college named CLET (College for Law Education and Training).

I joined OBSID in December 2019 as the Area / Precinct Manager. I provide a link between the community and SAPS, Metro police, Law Enforcement and our contracted Public Safety service. I am responsible for the public safety, cleaning and urban management programme, this means making sure that all public spaces are kept clean and tidy and are safe for people to use.

The best thing about my job is knowing that people feel safe and comfortable in Observatory. We are here to work with the community to make Obs a better place to be in.

I’m a firm believer in team work; when working with people, you learn there are many ways to complete a task; we should be working smarter, not harder.

Family is everything, they are the reason I get out of bed in the morning. In my spare time, you’ll find me in a 4x4, enjoying the outdoors. I absolutely love being in nature. To unwind I watch movies, my favourite film is the 1987 war/drama classic, Full Metal Jacket.

If I had to describe myself in three words, I’d go with respectful, honest and committed.

Doing their best to keep Obs looking clean. Our cleaning team works daily and is responsible for litter removal, bin emptying and general weeding in Observatory. #OBSID #OBSIDCleaning #KeepingObsClean #ObservatoryCapeTown #ILoveObs

OBSID and Communitree are working together to green Observatory. Imagine an Observatory filled with the flowers and birds of Table Mountain – bringing back the natural Fynbos heritage to our neighbourhood. Fynbos is beautiful, unique and our natural heritage. We hope to bring back endangered birds and bees and to inspire other greeners and gardeners to start their own Fynbos patch. #COMMUNITREE #OBSID #GREENING #ILOVEOBS #OBSERVATORYCAPETOWN #PLANTS

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of @straatwerk

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of @straatwerkct and their “Projekt OPHELP" (Project Operation Help), Observatory’s streets are kept looking cleaner as they remove unsightly graffiti tags. #Straatwerk #ProjektOPHELP #ObservatoryCapeTown #KeepingObsClean
