“We are here with the learners from WH Coetzer Primary School since its National Child Protection Week. We are celebrating this event by also inviting different stakeholders who addressed the learners about safety tips and telling them about their rights.”
Children were also given colouring-in books containing contact numbers of the police and childline numbers. They were encouraged to speak out and report if they were being harassed in any way.
