Disadvantaged pupils of the Klipvoor School near Brits this week received brand-new school shoes donated by members of the Jericho police station.

“It takes a village to raise a child. The police are mandated by the constitution of the country to create a safe and secure learning environment in schools. Members of Jericho police’s Social Crime Prevention in collaboration with the Brits district communication office visited the school during an anti-bullying and sexual offences awareness campaign,” said Maria Nkabinde, spokesperson for the Brits police cluster.
