This was part of their efforts to fight drug and substance abuse in the area.
Different stakeholders came together to engage the community on drugs and substance abuse.
Duduza police spokesperson Sgt Harry Manaka said they are concerned about the use of drugs by young people.
“We believe through information-sharing events those in need will know where and how to access assistance from different organisations.
“Through these sessions, we are also able to identify some of the notorious sites that need police attention.
“We are also encouraging residents to work hand in glove with the police to help fight this scourge,” he added.
