Dawn Park SAPS celebrates Women’s Month with hiking session
This event not only promoted physical wellness but also highlighted the importance of women’s inclusion in all aspects of society.
In a celebration of Women’s Month, the Dawn Park SAPS, alongside Gauteng crime prevention wardens and Environmental Health Workers (EHW), hosted an invigorating hiking session at Rietvlei Zoo Farm, Alberton, on August 2.
This event not only promoted physical wellness but also highlighted the importance of women’s inclusion in all aspects of society.
Spokesperson of the police station Sergeant Nkemeleng Mabula explained the hiking session served as a platform to inspire participants to understand and value the significance of women’s roles within their communities.
“When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world.
“This sentiment resonated deeply throughout the day, emphasising that when women feel encouraged to participate, they experience a profound sense of belonging and relevance.”
Mabula said a particularly noteworthy aspect of the event was the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Makgakga, the station commander of Dawn Park SAPS.
“Her presence and guidance exemplified the strides being made in gender representation within the police force.”
During the gathering, Makgakga addressed the attendees with heartfelt words of encouragement: “Your hard work and dedication are an inspiration to those around you. Keep up the good work and love yourself.”
Her message reinforced the importance of self-worth and the value of each individual’s contributions to the community.

“This collaborative spirit is essential in creating a society that values and uplifts women.”
As the day unfolded, participants engaged in conversations about the challenges women face and the collective responsibility to address these issues.
The hiking session not only provided a physical challenge but also served as a reminder of the strength found in unity and support.
