During the interactive presentation, Const Reggie Ramokolo spoke to the children about keeping secrets and encouraged them to not hold onto issues but to rather share what they are going through.

Safety awareness colouring-in books were also handed out during the presentation.

The visit also gave the team a chance to introduce the Adopt-a-Cop initiative and Sector Three commander Const Jane Ramakgoshi announced that Col Eric Xhosa would be looking after the school for the year.

He will ensure that the learners behave and that they are kept safe.
