After being strangled within an inch of her life in her own home, Penny didn’t run from crime – instead she took it head on! She spearheaded Domestic Watch, a programme that works with domestic workers and gardeners to fight crime in South Africa. By leveraging the powerful networks and intelligence held by these women and men, Domestic Watch has made Johannesburg’s neighbourhoods significantly safer for us all. We think the Ministry of State Security could really take a page from her book…and then sign a cheque from theirs!
