PUBLIC NOTICE: CCTV FOOTAGE REQUESTS

PUBLIC NOTICE: CCTV FOOTAGE REQUESTS

The Saldanha Bay Municipality would like to remind the public about the purpose and use of our municipal CCTV cameras.

Our CCTV system is an important investment to enhance safety in our communities. Cameras are used to protect municipal infrastructure, monitor public open spaces, assist with traffic flow, support disaster management, and help detect by-law offenses or vandalism. While the system may sometimes capture criminal incidents, footage is regarded as confidential and, in line with legislation, cannot be released directly to members of the public.

In line with our Municipal CCTV Policy and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), all footage is regarded as sensitive information. This means:

Only SAPS detectives involved in an active investigation can formally request and access CCTV footage.

Members of the public are encouraged to report crimes to SAPS. Once a case number is opened, SAPS can request the relevant footage from the Municipality.

Releasing footage to the public directly would violate privacy rights and compromise investigations.

We ask for the community’s understanding: CCTV cameras are working and monitored 24/7 by trained officials. However, their use is regulated by law to protect the rights and safety of all our residents.

Together, we can build a safer community by following the correct processes. For any crime-related concerns, please open a case with SAPS so that the correct legal channels can be followed.
