The success of E2 has been witnessed through Memeza crime-fighting project which can be considered a shining story against crime currently ravaging this country and adversely having an economic impact on the already struggling economy.
Memeza is a Non-Profit Organization founded in 2012 and work in partnership with The National Civilian Secretariat for Police and South African Police Service to develop technology that can improve response times and reduce crime, with a special focus on vulnerable No Fee paying schools, hard hit by ICT theft.
On the morning of the 20th of March 2020 at around 2h30, the school was broken into and suspects made off with over R250 000 worth of ICT educational equipment. Memeza’s monitoring team activated the Eyes and Ears network and the stolen ICT was tracked to a house in Mamelodi in the East of Tshwane where all of the stolen ICT equipment was recovered by SAPS and arrests were made.
