Four primary schools that fall within the precinct of the Bronville Community Policing Forum (CPF) participated in a Sports Against Crime event.
Dephny Tshehle, chairperson of the forum, took the initiative to bring the Bronville, Hani Park, Golden Park and Ouma Tsopo Primary School together to participate in the event.
“The community policing forum ensures that the communication between children, teachers, parents and the police is restored, making it easier for the children to report crimes that happen in the community to the police,” says Ashley Tshehle, field reporter for the forum.
“Sports activities can help take the children off the streets,” she says.
The Department of Correctional Services, the Department of Education and paramedics came to inform the children of the dangers of crime and drugs and how it can ruin your future.
A trophy and medals were sponsored by Elrico Lukas and Phillip Borman under the Super Sunday’s Organisation.
This was to ensure that the children in the community felt honoured.
The aim of the day was to restore the relationship between the community and the police to ensure that drugs and crime are removed from the streets and that sports is encouraged amongst the children.
In the boys’ soccer open category, Hani Park played Ward 11, and Ouma Tshopo played Bronville. Bronville then played Hani Park in the final. The game was a 0 – 0 draw, and Bronville won the penalties 4 – 3.
In the U13 games, Ward 11 played Bronville, and Ouma Tshopo played Ward 11. In the final Ouma Tshopo lost to Ward 11 with a score of 1 – 3.
