NORTHERN CAPE - On Friday, 07 June 2019, Kuruman SAPS together with stakeholders including Department of Transport, Safety and Liaison, Education, SGBs and CPF conducted a take a child to work program.

86 learners from Mahikaneng primary school visited Kuruman police station together with their educators. During the visit, learners were taken to various units such as K9, CSC, Saps garage, LCRC as well as the office of the station Commander. The intention was to explain to the learners and to show them how each unit operates or functions.

More over each and every stakeholder did address the learners.

Learners were also addressed on their safety. They were advised not to trust strangers, not to accept money or sweets from strangers, and not to accept lifts from strangers.

They were further encouraged not to be involved in any criminal activities because they are the leaders of tomorrow.

The station Commander Brigadier Kenneth Baloyi urged other stakeholders to make use of every avenue or platform to show the young ones the right path because they are our future leaders. According to Brigadier Baloyi all the platforms, either in community meetings, churches or any gathering that can send messages about the danger of committing crime should be used.
