Social worker Xolani Mthiyane from Ekupholeni Victim Empowerment Centre spoke on the dangers of drug use and urged learners not to get into drugs as they have a long-term effect.

Sgt Adam Dikhoba, who ‘adopted’ the school, warned the learners about the dangers of talking on their phones while walking, thus not being aware of their surroundings.

“This is part of our back-to-school campaign. Learners must remain informed about dangers, as crime constantly evolves,” said Primrose SAPS spokesperson Styles Maome.
