If you are interested in becoming a Street Rep please contact admin@cra.org.za as more than one Street Rep is useful to act as back-up when one is away etc. It’s best that a Street Rep resides on the street they represent as they have their eyes and ears on the ground. There are currently a few Street Reps that have taken on streets they do not reside on as these streets are currently without a Street Rep, so please get in touch.

Although each street group is run independently, we do suggest that each Street Rep outlines their street group’s mandate and conditions of use to their street to minimise issues that may arise. Below is a general mandate and conditions of use for street groups for any Street Reps that would like to make use of them as well as the additions for our specific groups.

WhatsApp groups are an incredibly useful and powerful community tool when it comes to sharing information and security issues. Individual street groups often evolve organically and the CRA refers to the administrator and often creator of the group as a Street Rep. Being a Street Rep is voluntary and often a time consuming and thankless job. The CRA in no way controls how each Street Rep chooses to run their street group, nor what they post on the group. The CRA has 2 WhatsApp groups which we created: the Street Reps Group and Security Group to help create community awareness and togetherness.

We encourage Street Reps to be a part of our Street Reps and Security Groups where they can share information with other Street Reps, the CRA, Ward Councillors and other contacts. At times we request that Street Reps share certain communications with their streets on behalf of the CRA. The CRA is not allowed to give out personal information, however, if you would like to become part of your street group please email your name, street address and contact number to internalcoms@cra.org.za and we will pass on your request to your Street Rep.
