“The campaign aimed to remind learners why they go to school and to teach them more about discipline and the consequences of substance abuse,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.

During the visits, Chaplain Elias Leholo shared his life story with the learners in the hope that they would learn from it.

After this, youth desk member Tshegofatso Maponya encouraged the learners to get involved in the fight against crime by joining the youth desk.

“We hope the learners benefited from our visit and will take the advice into consideration,” said Maome.
