A Bekkersdal police officer went over and above the call of duty by donating food and toiletries to a woman.
A police officer attached to the Bekkersdal Police Station’s Supply Chain Management was able to put a smile on someone’s face this past Christmas after she donated food and toiletries to a needy resident from the Holomisa informal settlement.
Sergeant Busisiwe Sibeko gifted the 51-year-old woman from the settlement with groceries two days before Christmas on Friday, December, 23.
