JOHANNESBURG – Police and schools join forces to fight the scourge of alcohol and drugs in the community.
Participating Schools were awarded with a certificate of appreciation for their efforts in the debate.
As part of their efforts to promote Child Protection Week, the Johannesburg Metro Police Department’s outreach unit hosted topical debates in Ward 86.
What made these debates unique was that it was primary and high school children who took centre stage. Children from Johannesburg Secondary School, Riverlea High School, Langlaagte Technical High School, RW Fick Secondary School and Coronationville Secondary School debated on various topics that affect them.
The topic was Technology and Me and how it affects their sexuality, and how it leads to violence and broken homes.
Metro officers Ouma Morudi and Thandeka Khanyile spectated and judged the debate along with Gift of the Givers, The Johannesburg Central Cluster, Oya Toros, Coke as well as Alcohol and Drug Concerns.
“It was great to see the children expressing themselves openly on such a topic whether they were for technology or against,” said Morudi.
