Bramley Police Station hosted a handover ceremony where the station management celebrated their local school learners who participated in the Junior Commissioners Project 2023-2024.
The Junior National Commissioner Project is one of the SAPS’ Youth Crime Prevention flagship projects that seeks to provide the youth of South Africa with an opportunity to contribute and play a meaningful role in ensuring a safe and conducive learning environment in schools.
Among the objectives of the Junior Commissioner Project is to advocate for the development and nurturing of leadership capacity, skills, and mentoring of young people in communities.
The Bramley station was represented by four learners: Kamogelo Rathokolo from Sandtonveiw Combined School, a junior of vispol commander at the station; Hazel Nwankwo from Eastridge Christian School, a junior detective commander; Bonginkosi Mhlanga from Liberty Community School, a head of support; and Paulina Fossung from Eastridge Christan School, a junior station commander.
Bramley Police Station commander Colonel Owen King said, “We are very proud of our nearby station school learners who made it to participate in this project.”
King added that many of the learners in their nearby school show much interest in this project, and as a station, they want to thank them for that as it shows that they are interested in doing good.
Kamogelo Rathokolo from Sandtonveiw Combined School said she is happy to have finally reached the stage she has, and she is proud of herself and the other learners who participated and helped her in her projects.
“I learned a lot on this project. My topic and task told me to manage my time. I got to meet new people and investigate those types of junior police things. I did that.”
Kamogelo emphasised that other young people should come and join the project as it teaches many life things.
“I want to thank my mother and everyone who has supported me in my project era.”
