About Us...

Sunninghill Community Ratepayers Association

Sunninghill Community, working for you!

  • Liaising with Council over service delivery problems. This is a daunting task; however, we have been more successful than most due to the relationships we have built up with the Council departments.  We believe it is better to work with than against and this has served us well, however, should we need to, we do not hesitate to fight for our suburb.
  • Identifying needed infrastructure and ensuring that this gets put on the Council list for our suburb. 
  • We are the watchdog for the suburb.  We check the Gov Gazette for any developments or rezoning applications and if need be, fight and mobilise the community should these be undesirable for the suburb.
  • With sponsorship from businesses, we do two litter clean ups per month; have planted over 5000 trees; installed two Madiba forests etc.
  • When it comes to Council and all other departments we deal with, being a strong and united community does give us a stronger voice.  We could certainly do with your help and support in our fight for our suburb.
  • Working with and liaising with our Ward Councillor on Ratepayer and service delivery issues  
  • Working with Council and the Taxi Association (ongoing) to find a solution to the taxi problem in the area by expanding the existing Taxi holding area to accommodate all taxis.
  • Liaising with the JHB Metro Police on by-law infringements
  • Look and feel of the suburb. Grass that used to be cut by Council – we are now doing.  Recent examples are the K60/Van der Bjil, Rivonia and Nanyuki Roads. Litter bins that are overflowing that are supposed to be cleaned out by Pick-it-up, we are emptying those to. Removing illegal posters on lamp poles, estate agents’ boards that are illegal etc. We have embarked on creating water-wise gardens on the main road islands in Sunninghill, including Rivonia Road.

Sunninghill Community Security

Sunninghill Community is a registered Section 21 (non-profit) company initiated by the Residents and Businesses of the suburb of Sunninghill – Sunninghill Community Security, the security branch of the ratepayer’s association came about in 2007 due to concern about the rapidly declining urban environment and increased criminal activities in the area. The perception of crime, grime and general environmental disorder in most urban areas has a negative impact on residents, staff, employers, and the willingness of people to visit the area and thus sustain economic growth and development.

Sunninghill Community Security is made up of many facets:

4 dedicated Savika Special Ops pro-active patrol vehicles paid for in full by Sunninghill Community NPC

1 Managers Vehicle

More than 100 CCTV cameras in the streets of our suburb

18 License Plate Recognition Cameras linked to SAPS wanted vehicle database and joint security database, giving instant alarms in the Savika Control Room in Sunninghill should a wanted vehicle enter our area.

State of the art Control Room which monitors these cameras live right here in Sunninghill

Armed Response for our members

Security management that works closely with the Sandton Saps, Metro Police in crime prevention in the suburb
