A community stands together against social evils, crime
Tiles4Change march supported by community and school pupils.
Note from the Editor –
The Edenvale community, for the second consecutive year, united against social evils and crime.
Rival schools, competing security companies, the Edenvale SAPS and other police units, the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department and residents took to the streets on Friday in a united front against drugs, violence, bullies and human traffickers.
The Tiles4Change march kicked off from Horwood’s Farm with about 1 500 school pupils and adults marching to Karaglen SuperSpar.
Marchers proudly showed off their campaign posters, spreading individual messages calling for an end to the mentioned social evils and crimes.
“I salute each and every school pupil, community member, security officer, police officer and resident who took part in the march.
“A united front between different parties is seldom possible and if achieved, can be extremely successful. I was left in awe by what I witnessed today – 1500 people standing together against social evils and crime. I salute every participant and organiser, including the NEWS’ very own Online Editor and Edenvale journalist, Charmaine Slater,” said the Editor of the Bedfordview and Edenvale NEWS, Marietta Lombard.
