SASOLBURG.- Tee White Security, SAPS, the Zamdela Community Policing Forum (CFP), and patrollers held a successful Recognition Awards ceremony for outstanding SAPS individuals in Zamdela.

The event, held on December 28 last year, was held at the Harry Gwala Multi-Purpose Centre.

Tee White Security is a security company based in Zamdela with a history of giving back to the community. Its management, led by director Ntumelleng Moahloli, operations manager Leeto Lesikare, and administrator Dimakatso Mosokwine, saw it fit to host an event to recognise the efforts of the people who are usually not taken seriously by members of the community—the security personnel and the CPF volunteers.

Tee White Security management said the purpose was to recognise and say thank you to all those who have worked in collaboration with them throughout the years, even in difficult and sometimes dangerous situations.

Over 50 volunteers (CPF members, Tee White Security officers, patrollers, SAPS, and individuals from the community) were honoured for their contribution to building a safe and crime-free environment within the jurisdiction of the municipality.

Among the dignitaries present were senior officials of SAPS.

People who were also honoured were Tladinyane Kgodumo for his role as a community leader and advisor, and the people involved in the School Patrol Programme who assist especially primary school kids to cross roads safely and set out to teach them about road safety.

On receiving their trophies and medals, all recipients expressed words of joy to Tee White Security for being the first local black-owned company to come up with an idea that puts the community first.
