What is Cape Cell Alert?
Cape Cell Alert is a dynamic, instant method of reporting suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood to all your neighbours with one SMS to one number: 0825686535. The concept is based on STRENGTH IN NUMBERS – the more people registered on the system in a specific neighbourhood, the safer that neighbourhood becomes.
How does it Cape Cell Alert work?
Simple – any person registered on the system who observes any type of suspicious, unlawful behaviour or witness a criminal activity in their neighbourhood sends a short description to 0825686535. Our experienced personnel, on duty 24/7 will immediately check the message to make sure it is indeed a bona fide, lawful and informative report. We might contact the sender to ensure all relevant details are clear. Once clarified/edited/confirmed, the message is forwarded to all registered users in the same street and neighbourhood, as well as the local security and crime watch contacts. This way, a person acting suspiciously within a neighbourhood, will suddenly feel very unwelcome as many eyes will be watching their every move. Our message forwarding system will not send messages related to another neighbourhood to your neighbourhood, so you will only receive relevant messages.
What type of messages will you receive?
We manually check every message before we enter it into our system for forwarding to the relevant users in a neighbourhood. This is an integral part of our service to ensure that you do not receive any irrelevant/illegal/immoral messages.We will not forward messages that contain foul language, serve to obstruct the law and contain indecipherable or irrelevant information.
We will forward messages that warn your neighbourhood of any reported suspicious or criminal behaviour, that contain public interest announcements (Baboon/Shark activity, Fires, Date of next NW meeting) and messages that encourage you to refer neighbours, friends and family to join the service.

About us
Cape Cell Alert is an initiative founded by Craig Adendorff and Rikus Badenhorst, (businessmen based in Durban and Cape Town respectively) - both have been active role-players in their respective communities through their membership of Round Table and involvement in various neighbourhood watches.
Inspired by the message of LEAD SA - that every South African can stand up and make a difference in the lives of others with positive actions, Rikus and Craig decided to launch Cape Cell Alert in the Western Cape during the latter part of 2010. Rikus, in his free time, manages the PR and marketing of Cape Cell Alert, and gladly gives talks to community and civic organisations on invitation regarding this initiative. Craig runs the operational component and continuously strives to upgrade the software in order to deliver a fast, efficient and seamless service.
Their vision is for every person with access to a mobile phone in the Western Cape to become the eyes and ears of police and security companies in their local neighbourhoods and to contribute to the safety and security of their communities through instant communication with their neighbours.
