Wedela police reaches out through sport
Members of the police in Wedela reached out to others actively at the onset of the Freedom Day weekend.
According to the Wedela SAPS' Social Crime Prevention Officer, Sergeant Zikhona Sifuba, police members and teachers from all three schools in the town – Wedela Technical High School, Wedela Primary School, and Xhobani Primary School – got to know each other better by playing a friendly soccer match on April 25.
The match was played at the old Savuka Stadium at 16:00.
'Although we are working together, I am the only police member who regularly gets to go to schools and meet up with the teachers when I am doing campaigns,' said Sifuba.
Because of this, she thought it would be wise for the town's police officers and teachers to get together and have a friendly game so that they could get to know each other.
'It's like a know-your-neighbour campaign. But this one is more like knowing your departments around your area,' Sifuba explained.
She added that the game was well played. The SAPS team managed to beat the teachers. Just more than 50 people took part in the action.
