“The event played a huge role in our lives because they taught us about the dangers of substance abuse, that education is a key to success and we learnt about the signs of a drug addict,” said Priscilla Tshabalala, one of the learners from Emshukantambo Secondary School.
Warrant officer J. Maleke from the South African Police Service (SAPS), who works with the Community Police Forum (CPF) and on community relations, was motivating and informing the youth that there are more than 122 careers in the Defense Department.

The main purpose of the event was for early exposure to different careers for learners, and an opportunity for them to apply in different institutions, for them to get an opportunity to ask stakeholders about what they specialise in.
Other people from the community attended the event, refreshments were served to guests and the exhibition was a huge success and an inspiration to the learners.
