Sebokeng SAPS conduct school search operation
SEBOKENG.-The Sebokeng Police recently collaborated with Sector Managers, Community Policing Forum, Youth Crime Prevention Desk, Gauteng Traffic Wardens and Siyabangena Patrollers to conduct a school search operation at Sizanani Secondary School in Zone 13 Sebokeng.
Police spokesperson, Sergeant Nthabiseng Mokhachane said that the aim of this operations was to address the learners about, substance abuse, possession of dangerous weapons, gangsterism, bullying, sexual offenses and other crimes that may affect learners.
'The operations will be conducted weekly at random schools in order to make schools safer and crime free. Some learners tend to recruit others to be gang members or introduce them to illegal substances, therefore schools are no longer treated as a place of learning. The Station Commander Brigadier Thembekile Kubone would like to encourage parents to assist the police in anyway possible, and further plead that if parents notice any unusual behavior in their children to contact Sebokeng SAPS Social Crime Prevention for further assistance.'
Meanwhile the police urge the community members to participate in various structures of community patrols and to further call Sebokeng SAPS on 082 498 9563, 112, 10111, 08600 10111 or alternatively via MySAPS should there be any information.

Village residents living in fear of criminals
Violent crime has gripped Malamulele, where residents fear for their lives as armed criminals continue to terrorise homes and families. Residents of Malamulele near Giyani in Limpopo are living in fear of gun-wielding criminals who attack them in their homes. Recently, community members protested and accused the police of not doing enough to arrest the criminals, who recently shot and killed a 20-year-old young man and raped his 17-year-old sister in Malamulele Extension B. They fled the scene with stolen property including a cellphone, laptop, chainsaw, TV, bicycle and grinder collectively valued at R36 300.
