Well I forgot about that - I was just doing my duty as a CPF member as
Requested by the chair. In my reply to him I did include a note that once
again the SAPS have no sense of timing and to give 5 days notice for
something like that is not acceptable - I think I noted that it appeared as
an after thought.  Like they were just foing it to get it done - if they
truly want to engage with the public they have to have time to publicize
the meeting better. I hope they get a good turnout - perhaps I will
encourage the OCA committee to meet earlier and have a shorter meeting so
we also have the option of attending the Imbizo. The very point I would
like tpo put to them in public is the short notice - I would like to hear
what they have to say about that. If I am unable to attend I will put that
question to Mr Smith to put to the Imbizo.

Due to the troubles arround all the fighting at the AGM I did nto want to
rock the boat. I will then not be able to go to the Imbizo as I have to
chair the OCA meeting.

I will send a note to Sgt Malila and Mr Smith (CPF Chair) asking for more
advance notice in the future.

Perhaps since the folks of Lytton are mobilised you can caucus at your
meeting and still attend the imbizo and put some questions to the SAPS!

Thanks

Trev
