Kwa-Thema community marches for child protection and GBVF awareness
Residents stand against the recent spate of GBVF in Kwa-Thema
Kwa-Thema – Hlasempho Community Development Projects led an awareness march to Kwa-Thema SAPS on Friday.
Omphile Mpho Ntshona, from the organisation’s Youth Desk said that the march aims to create child protection and GBVF awareness.
“Our parents are being killed. A four year old girl was brutally murdered recently.
“We have come together, as different organisations and political parties, as the community to show that we are united.
“We do see what is happening around us and we will not accept it,” she said.
Ntshona also encouraged the community to speak out against acts of crime. She said that they had prepared a memorandum to hand over at the police station.
“We need the police to commit to working harder at solving these cases,” she said.
The group started at Kwa-Thema Hall through Job Maseko Street and Thema Road to Kwa-Thema SAPS.
