The visits took place on May 31 as part of the SAPS’ Child Protection Week campaign.
Sergeant Styles Maome, Primrose SAPS corporate communications officer, said police officers promoted a safer learning environment and taught the learners about their rights.
“At Primrose Primary School, children were also taught how to hoist and lower the flag of the Republic of South Africa,” said Maome.
The campaign continued on June 4 when representatives from the GBV Brigade held a road show in Primrose. Children in all the sectors were visited and taught how to report criminal activities.
Maome said the roadshow also catered for children not attending school in the informal settlements.
