Mahlashana Primary pupils march with police

SEPTEMBER is National Police Safety Month, a time to raise awareness and look at measures to reduce attacks on and murders of the men and women in blue.
Safety awareness campaigns are conducted at both national and provincial level, and last Wednesday Scottburgh Saps members, Captain Adam Francis and Sergeants Christopher Mahlawe and Topsy Khwela, together with Umdoni Fire and Rescue and Umdoni Protection Services, visited Mahlashana Primary in Amandawe.
