The Strand Women’s Network hosted a commemorative service to honour members lost in the line of duty last Friday (25 November).
The service coincided with the launch of Strand police’s 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children at Bethesda Evangelical Church in Broadlands Park.
Increasing incidents of violent crimes in Strand have spurred the call for spaza shops to close earlier to prevent owners and customers from falling prey to lurking criminals.
Police Minister Bheki Cele, speaking at the memorial service of two slain police officers, commended the Western Cape police for the work they have done, so far, saying they have arrested top criminals.
