Ivory Park SAPS honours Madiba

Members of the Ivory Park SAPS Crime Prevention Unit and its Youth Desk celebrated Mandela Day in various ways.

On July 18, they visited the Rabie Ridge SAPS to help paint the buildings, including the Victim Empowerment Centre.

Paint, brushes and rollers were donated by the Department of Community Safety in support of Mandela Day.

The department also supplied the Rabie Ridge SAPS with free refreshments.

Members from the Department of Community Safety, ward councillors from the policing precinct, correctional services, safety promoters, volunteers from the Victim Empowerment Centre and the Department of Education, took park in the event under the leadership of Colonel Maoto, the station commander of the Rabie Ridge SAPS.

From the Rabie Ridge SAPS, the Ivory Park SAPS continued serving their 67 minutes of Mandela Day and washed the state motor vehicles. They were joined by Riendzo Development, a youth organisation under the Ivory Park Emergency Medical Services.

The state vehicles were washed at the Ivory Park SAPS.

During a previous occasion, the group proceeded to Eco Village and donated clothing to the orphans and vulnerable children at the centre.
