“We are also praying for God’s intervention in the accidents that continue to happen along the freeway. The prayer session started near the Grey Avenue road bridge in Alberton, and we went all the way to the two parallel Total petrol filling stations on the highway as you are heading towards Heidelberg,” Nkuna shared.

On August 13, the Vosloorus SAPS in partnership with various stakeholders rolled-out anti-drugs and bullying campaigns in two schools in Vosloorus which are Fortune Kunene Primary School and Zimele Primary School.

According to the Vosloorus SAPS spokesperson, Warrant officer Nkuna various speakers in both the campaigns focused on topics of bullying, teenage pregnancy, children’s rights, GBV, domestic violence, discipline and respect.
