Boksburg North SAPS management

“It’s been a long journey since the year started. We have been going through a rough ride in terms of crime and Covid-19. Thanks to God, we did not have any casualties.
“But regardless of all these, we still have to serve our community. Thanks to the CPF for giving support throughout the year. We are in a very busy festive season and people have to enjoy it responsibly.

“This is a period whereby domestic and gender-based violence cases are increasing because of alcohol. We are still on the adjusted alert level one and liquor outlets are reminded to adhere to all the rules, including the stipulated operating hours. I want to wish every resident of Boksburg a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! God bless.”

“Wishing the community of Boksburg a happy festive season. May you treasure this time with your family and friends and experience joy and merriment during the holidays and for the year to come. I understand that not everyone experiences joy during this period due to past experience and challenges faced this year.

“I want to encourage them to reach out to a family member, friend or an organisation that can assist and to know that no challenge lasts forever and that they will overcome difficulties faced in time. Be blessed and stay safe in this festive season!”
