Among the schools visited were Keate Street Primary, Steadville Secondary, Sidingulwanzi Primary and Dr Joseph Shabalala High School.
The learners were engaged about topics such as ‘intimate partner violence’, gang violence, gender-based violence, substance abuse, rape, bullying, theft at school, school safety and child negligence.
In addition, they were educated about the SAPS toll-free 10111 emergency number.
