Mbinambina is the sole breadwinner of the household. 

The handover forms part of SAPS’ Corporate Social Initiative (CSI), and is one of two events that serve as a build-up to National Police Day on 27 January. 

Minister of Police, General Bheki Cele, the Deputy Minister of Police, Cassel Mathale and SAPS National Commissioner, General Khehla Sitole led the build-up activities.

National Police Day celebrations will take place at the Gelvandale Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

Police will also be hosting the National Excellence Awards at the Boardwalk Hotel and Casino in Port Elizabeth.
