Proudly South African has congratulated Head of Crime Line, Yusuf Abramjee, on his recent appointment as the second Vice-President of Crime Stoppers International (CSI) during the body's 33rd annual conference in Las Vegas, USA.
Abramjee was recently elected with Peter Price from Australia, who takes up the seat as Vice-President.
"Through Crime Line and other media and civil society initiatives, Abramjee has served the country with excellence - especially in the fight against crime. His solid track record and dedication to active citizenship speaks volumes of his commitment towards positive change in his sphere of influence, as well as the country as a whole. We are proud of Abramjee and the fact that he has been recognised and rewarded on a global level," said Proudly South African CEO, Adv. Leslie Sedibe.
Crime Stoppers International is a global body that works with the media, Interpol, the FBI and other bodies to solve crimes and spread crime stopper programmes around the world.
"We have no doubt that Abramjee will be an asset to CSI and that he will play a significant role in growing CSI and its successes. We are also confident that he will continue to drive Crime Line, the local anonymous anti-crime tip-off service, and continue to promote responsible crime fighting initiatives in South African communities," added Adv. Sedibe.
Meanwhile, Proudly SA has also committed its full support to the CSI conference which will be held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2014.
"As Proud South Africans, it is the civic duty of everyone in this country to report crime and wrongdoing. Whether we do so via SMS to Crime Line on 32211 or directly to law enforcement agencies. We all have a responsibility to uphold the laws of this country and to do our bit to ensure our communities remain safe," said Sedibe
