“The group visited the less privileged families from Makause at the Fire of God Ministries Church.
“During the visit the community were encouraged to report any form of crime they are aware of, especially gender-based violence which are giving us as police sleepless nights,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communication officer for the Primrose police.
Before leaving the organisation donated sanitary towels to the attending families.
“Thank you to all the stakeholders involved in this visit.
“We hope that visits like this will help us to reduce crime in the area,” said Maome.
