BRITS – OUKASIE – Police members in Bojanala-Sub District1(Brits) in partnership with the Community Police Forum (CPF) are continually embarking on a quest to create a safe and secure learning environment.
On Thursday, 16 May, Brits Social Crime Prevention, the District Communication officers and Community Police Forum held a boys manhood dialogue at Botlhabelo High School in Oukasie.
“The primary objective was to engage Grade 10 male learners in a discussion about social issues that affect them, such as substance abuse, bullying, crime and gangsterism,” says Maria Nkabinde, SAPS Brits spokesperson.
“They were sensitised about the social, mental and physical detrimental effects of drugs such as nyaope, crystal meth, mandrax and dagga.”
Some of the schools in the Bojanala-Sub District 1 (Brits) are problematic schools with reported cases such as theft and assault (stabbings), wherein learners are perpetrators in their own individual capacity or through gangsterism. (Photos SAPS)
