Back To The City Celebrates A Safe And Joyful Hip Hop Gathering. The highly anticipated Back To The City festival attracted an impressive turnout of 18,000 hip-hop enthusiasts this weekend, and the event was marked not only by the vibrant atmosphere but also by an unprecedented level of safety in Newtown, Johannesburg.
For the first time in its history, the festival reported zero incidents of crime, a testament to the effectiveness of the collaborative security efforts. Attendees were able to enjoy the festivities without the worry of vehicle theft, pickpocketing, phone snatching, or any violent acts.
The festival boasted a crime-free environment, with no reports of broken windows, muggings, or stabbings, ensuring that all present could focus solely on the celebration of hip-hop culture. “Just happy hip-hop people,” declared the festival organizers, highlighting the joyous spirit that permeated the event.
The success of this year’s festival can be attributed to the exceptional support from local security agencies. The South African Police Service (SAPS), Eyethu Security, Cortac, Platinum 360 Security, Musimeki Security, Bhekezela Patrol Community, and Newtown Car Guards collaborated effectively to maintain a safe environment.
Their efforts were pivotal in allowing festival-goers to immerse themselves in the music, performances, and community without fear. “We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the security personnel who worked tirelessly to keep everyone safe. Their commitment to ensuring a secure space for our festival was crucial,” said the event organizers.
As Back To The City continues to grow, the commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees remains a top priority. With such a successful and secure event this year, the future of the festival looks bright, promising even more memorable celebrations of hip-hop culture in the years to come.
