The campaign was held in partnership with the Youth Crime Prevention Desk. Duduza police spokesperson Sgt Harry Manaka said the campaign was aimed at sensitising the community around Roseview and Duduza Central.
“It was important for us to warn residents to be more vigilant, especially along Nzimande Street because there is a growing number of crimes such as robberies, hijackings and other violent crimes being reported.
