Cluster commander General Dimakatso Ndaba is all smiles on Women's Day at the Mother Teresa home in Yeoville.
Johannesburg East Cluster police officers showered the women and children of Mother Teresa Home in Yeoville with gifts in celebration of Women’s Day.
Speaking to attendees, cluster commander, General Dimakatso Ndaba, said women were vulnerable to most serious crimes and police officers must ensure that the rights of women were protected. She added that much more was needed to be done to ensure gender equality.
“A girl child must not walk with fear that there is a rapist behind her,” Ndaba said.
