At least 250 community members were reached and 200 pamphlets distributed during an awareness campaign held at Tambotie Mall last week.

On Friday, 20 November, members of the Randfontein Police’s Crime Prevention Unit, Communication Department and Victim Empowerment together with its Youth Desk, Women As Safety Promoters (WASP) and community patrollers conducted the awareness campaign.
