M. Tech. Policing / The White Paper on Safety and Security (1998: 7-8) states that in the new democratic order, South Africans demand and deserve accountable, effective and service oriented policing. This means that policing in a democracy requires professional law enforcement which does not infringe upon human rights. It further requires a concerted effort by government, in partnership with civil society, to prevent crime before it occurs. The new South African Police Services under the new dispensation introduced in 1994 covers new policing programmes such as Community Policing Forum, Sector Policing and Neighborhood Watch, for the purpose of bringing the policing department to the proximity of the society. The main objectives of the research are to investigate the reasons for the failure of the police and the community to maintain cordial relationships on crime prevention in Tzaneen area, reasons for lower success rate in terms of apprehending and arresting of criminals, lack of monitoring by police commissioners of Tzaneen to ensure the quality of relationship, and to recommend ways of ensuring or improving good relationship between the police and the community in fighting or preventing crime in Tzaneen area, Limpopo province.
