Bronkhorstspruit SAPS embarks on crime awareness campaign in Zithobeni
The office of acting station commander Lieutenant Colonel Sibonsile Mlaba, together with Social Crime Prevention, Crime Prevention Wardens, and the CPF, visited Zithobeni on July 10. Mlaba and the team focused on tackling GBV and drug-related crimes occurring in and around the area.
'Mlaba pleaded with a group of men operating a car wash near Zithobeni High School not to allow anyone to sell drugs to school learners,' said Constable Cathrine Ramovha, communications officer for Bronkhorstspruit SAPS.
The campaign also raised awareness of the Second-Hand Goods Act 6 of 2009, which regulates the trade in used goods and pawnbrokers.
'This topic was addressed to help prevent the sale of stolen items and to promote moral standards in the sector,' Ramovha added.
'Public safety is a shared responsibility, and the police urge communities to join forces with them in the fight against crime,' said Mlaba.
'To make neighbourhoods safer, the police stress the importance of cooperation, communication, and mutual trust,' Mlaba concluded.
