Cops awarded at SAPS year-end function
Certificates and trophies were also handed out to members who performed well during the 2015/2016 years
KEMPTON Park’s police officers celebrated the year in style at Destiny Hotel on Wednesday night, December 14.
Ditching their usual blue uniforms, the city’s policemen and -women were dressed to the nines at their year-end function held at the Bredell hotel.
Station commander Brig Bertha Kgoroba was flanked by Ekurhuleni North’s deputy cluster commander Brig Mthombeni and the three provincial major generals, Masha, Motsepe and Napo, who represented the provincial commissioner Lt. General Deliwe De Lange, who could not be present due to other commitments.
In her address to the officers, Kgoroba acknowledged the role that all stakeholders – the police force, the CPF. neighbourhood watch groups and patrollers, private security companies and members of the community – played in the collective fight against crime in Kempton.
“In the new year, we promise to fight harder against crime and come down even harder on the criminals who plague our city,” Kgoroba said.
Certificates and trophies were handed out to members who performed well during the 2015/2016 year.
Guests also enjoyed a beautiful dance performance.
The police officers also held a moment of silence for one of their long-serving members, W/O Lawrence Modiba, who died during the weekend in an accident in Limpopo.
