Various stakeholders visited the Alma Mater International School on Monday, September 13 to address learners about topics such as social ills, and encourage them to take the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Social Crime Prevention team from the Krugersdorp Police and its spokesperson Captain Raymond Sebonyane were accompanied by members of the Department of Education, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), the West Rand District Department of Health, and Disaster Management.

These include keeping a social distance of 1,5m, and washing their hands or using sanitizer regularly, even if they are vaccinated.
