The campaign also raised awareness of the Second-Hand Goods Act 6 of 2009, which regulates the trade in used goods and pawnbrokers. 'This topic was addressed to help prevent the sale of stolen items and to promote moral standards in the sector,' Ramovha added. 'Public safety is a shared responsibility, and the police urge communities to join forces with them in the fight against crime,' said Mlaba. 'To make neighbourhoods safer, the police stress the importance of cooperation, communication, and mutual trust,' Mlaba concluded.
