Parliament - Accredited neighbourhood watches may patrol their areas after curfew, the Western Cape member of the executive council for community safety Albert Fritz said on Tuesday.

The amended regulation gazetted on Sunday evening states that: "Every person is confined to his or her place of residence from 9pm until 4am daily, except where a person has been granted a permit, which corresponds with Form 2 of Annexure A, to perform a service permitted under alert level 3, or is attending to a security or medical emergency.”

Fritz said it was important that neighbourhood watches continued to patrol after curfew began because criminals were active at night.
