Van Eeden explained that the visit presented an opportunity to share safety strategies and encourage a kinder attitude towards all people. She delivered an insightful anti-bullying session for the learners.

Police and the ACPF were joined by colleagues from the forensics laboratory and community service centre.

“A stellar talk on dignity, respect and personal discipline was done for the centre’s learners. The aim was to engage positively with youth from hard backgrounds and those facing life challenges. We value each opportunity to create safer spaces and to reinforce community connections with law enforcement. Thank you to Usizo-lomndeni.org for the Easter eggs and Brigette Carson from START Rescue for the support,” said Van Eeden.
