VEREENIGING – Sharpeville SAPS, Youth Desk, and Community Police Forum (CPF) certainly didn’t hold back, launching their own admirable soup with bread initiative for the community! I’m actually having some of that soup right now, and I can tell you, it’s quite delicious.
According to the SAPS spokesperson, Cst Busi Sango, this wonderful effort, which served at least 200 people, was made possible by the generous sponsorship of Phothiza Holdings, who even provided their mobile kitchen to serve the meals.
SAPS Spokesperson Constable Busi Sango said that many stakeholders rallied together for this cause. The list includes the Department of Community Safety, CPF, Youth Desk, Men As Safety Promoters, Gauteng Traffic Wardens, Vaal Community in Action, Indibabo Victim Empowerment, and Lekoa FM. Peter Kele, the Crime Prevention Assistant Manager for Sedibeng District, was also among those present, highlighting the broad support for the initiative.
SAPS Sharpeville spearheaded the entire event under the capable leadership of Acting Station Commander Lt. J.J. Jacobs. The soup drive kicked off at 10 AM, but Cst Sango also mentioned that before dishing out the warm meals, they held a cleaning campaign right here around the police station.
Cst Sango said in conclusion, “We wanted to bring the community closer together and show that our work isn’t just about catching criminals. We’re also deeply committed to tackling the social issues impacting everyone here. Our purpose is to protect you, the public, and we believe that by truly working hand-in-hand, rather than against each other, we can accomplish amazing things.”
