POLOKWANE - Sergeant Nkhwashu, the Communications Officer of SAPS Tzaneen conducted a live radio interview with Maruleng FM from their studios in Sekororo on Tuesday 03 August 2021.

The main objective of this initiative was to strengthen partnership policing, request public assistance in tracing wanted suspects and create awareness.

During the campaign he engaged the listeners on the following:

*Request public assistance to trace wanted suspects of armed robbery, rape,
abduction and the awaiting trial escapee Khutso Malatji (Partnership policing);
*To report crimes to the police instead of posting in on social media;
*How to utilize the suggestion boxes;
*Dangers of hitchhiking;
*Job scams and
*Covid-19 regulations.

As the campaign catches some momentum he also urged the youth to follow various sporting activities, as it has been proven to help in crime prevention and curbing other social ills.

Lastly a Question and Answer session was rendered to the satisfaction of the listeners. He shared SAPS district and stations contact numbers.
