Imtiaz Sooliman – Gift of the Givers office burgled

Is lots of history of violence. They call us, you know, and they

walk with us, and nobody interferes. Quite often, we lead

away, even before they say, PS, so we have the relationship and the

respect of people all over the country, you Yeah. I mean, you get

some kind of bad element that, you know, take a chance. And the thing

is, the office they went into really does not carry much stuff.

Normally, it was just there because we were busy with floods

itself. But we don't really stop something. And also we have good

security systems. But unfortunately, with a load

shedding everywhere else in the country, the alarm systems, the

battery dies. It doesn't work at certain times. And you know, it's

just, I mean, butters have not been installed yet because we

started bringing that in all the different offices and warehouses.

But then the fester system came, and it closed and the inverters

were going to be installed. So it just one of those unfortunate

situations. But there's, you know, there's good in what has happened

to me, the greatest good that has happened, it shows deficiency of

the saps. And when communities work hand in hand with you, and

they prepared to surrender people that are from their own community.

We can fight crime in a big way, in a very fast way in this

country, all we need to do is to rebuild the trust between saps and

the communities from where the governors come. And if we do that,

I can see a great future in crime fighting in the country. And, of

course, the other part, from a spiritual point of view, we need

to give criminal criminals the opportunity to fix themselves and

their own souls. And if that happens, you know, when you have

no criminals, you don't have need to have crime fighting. It's a

dream. It's, you know, it's, maybe it's a long term goal, but it's

not impossible. It we can bring to that. We need to improve the

economic situation in the country, create jobs, have opportunities,

especially for the youth, and in time, we can turn the situation

around.

Do you have a message for the community members who assisted you

in apprehending the guilty parties, or perhaps for those bad

elements themselves, just to sort of you know, help them understand

the gravitas of of you know, stealing from an organization who

aims to give so much to communities,

my message has always been the same. It's that same community

from anaba Park where one of our volunteers shot four years ago. I

mean, I'm a routine and you know, again, this community support

within 48 hours, those who were involved who apprehended, and

about a month ago, they were given a 25 year sentence, virtually

people to life. And again, the community played a great role. So

my message to community is very, very clear. We are extremely

thankful to you for what you've done in this instance and many

other instances. And do know who the criminals are in your area? It

could be your son, your brother, your father, your uncle. You have

a responsibility to expose that and pass that information on

today's years, because we need to clean our society, and you are the

ones that need to change that. You're the state, people who are

responsible for promoting drugs, involved, for killing and beyond,

family members that, in the long run, may suffer, but in this way,

if you expose them and hopefully given a chance to reform and

change their ways. And this is a call to all people, all all

criminals in South Africa. It's never too late. You know, I speak

from a divine point of view, from a spiritual point of view that is

always a chance to uplift and improve. And we call upon you to

change your ways, to be an asset to the community, to help your own

kids lives, your family lives, and your lives. And let's make a

change in the interest of all the people of our country and we

embrace thank you so much. Your positivity is absolutely

infectious gift of the givers. Founder intiaz Suleiman talking to
