Community unites to combat crime in Cullinan
Residents take a stand for a safer neighbourhood and clean-up.
The community recently organised an event where they served a nourishing meal to the officials from various law enforcement agencies, including Tshwane Metro Police, SAPS, correctional services, home affairs, detectives, and Gauteng law enforcement.
This endeavour involved the collaboration of the Cullinan Premier Hotel, Cavalier, SPAR, Pick n Pay, and several community members.
This gathering not only demonstrated appreciation for the tireless efforts of these officials, but also showcased the community’s commitment to supporting their vital work.
The event also served as a chance for these officials, commanders, and generals to engage with the community.
