HEIDELBERG. . – The Heidelberg SAPS Social Crime Prevention and CPF Coordinator Mzwandile Blose together with Domestic Violence and Victim Friendly Facility (VFF) Coordinator Nosiphiwo Makinana have embarked on visits to various schools, pre-schools and Crèches in the area.
The aim of the visits is to conduct awareness campaigns and to educate and sensitize learners about issues such as bullying, crime, human trafficking and drug abuse.

School Principal, Mr Pretorius was pleased with the good partnership formed between police and the school. This campaign assists in channelling good behaviour, moral regeneration and the attitude of learners.”
