Julian holds multiple degrees, diplomas and certifications from the University of Stellenbosch, University of Cape Town, Cambridge University, and the London School of Economics. He has served on the executive and non-executive leadership on a number of non-profit organisations, and has been involved in the audits of several local and multinational non-profit companies that have the same legal form as the Sondal CID will have.

Julian initiated the project to rollout security cameras throughout Vygeboom, having donated the majority of the funds required for the project, and serves on the camera committee of Kendal Neighbourhood Watch. He is also donor to Greenpop, an environmental NPC, and Heartshine, an NPC that helps children who have lived through traumatic experiences.

Julian became involved in the steering committee after he'd witnessed the positive impact that the establishment of a CID had in the area where he previously lived, and he felt that his experience in finance, mercantile law, business management, corporate governance, and non-profit organisation experience of over a decade would add value to the operations and objectives of the steering committee.

Jacques Nolte is a 46-year-old data analyst and property investment company owner. He has resided in the area since for the last 15 years with his family, including three children. Jacques became involved in community security after local crime spikes in 2012/2013. He co-initiated Sector G under the local Neighbourhood Watch in 2013 and has been actively involved in patrolling and camera projects.

Jacques, through his extensive involvement in the local Neighbourhood Watch and camera projects for over a decade, has recognized that relying solely on the national government or the efforts of a few residents for community safety is neither sustainable nor fair. He advocates for a community-driven approach, where secured funds enable the negotiation of contracts with service providers for dedicated patrolling and efficient maintenance of security infrastructure. Jacques believes that a CID structure is essential, as it ensures all residents contribute fairly and enables effective and sustainable community safety initiatives. This approach has proven successful across the Western Cape, leading to the creation of more CIDs.
