Devon SAPS reach out to the community

Devon SAPS was active in the community over the past few weeks where they conducted various outreach projects.
On March 5, Devon SAPS, with the social prevention and communication co-ordinator Constable Yvone Skosana, GBV Brigades, Thoko Malinga, Modiehi Mosia, Prudence Skweyiya and community patrollers conducted a door-to-door campaign to educate families about the various forms of abuse and femicide.
