Ditshego said having such events was important because they allowed officers to meet and talk about the challenges they face at work.
Brigadier Thloaele from the SAPS provincial office advised women to believe in themselves.
“Be your own hero, be strong and courageous, do not fear or be in dread of them for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. A leader is a leader in action, not position,” said Thloaele.
