Pudimoe SAPS together with Vryburg K9 dog unit teamed up and visited schools around Pudimoe Police Station’s precinct as part of Safer Schools project.
Pudimoe police spokesperson, Sergeant Tebogo Thebe said the initiative of SAPS aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of learners across the country and highlights pertinent issues, such as bullying, drug and alcohol consumption among learners, sexual violence and other social ills that permeate society.
“The Station used adopt a cop model to identify schools which are known to have experienced problems of learners bringing undesirable objects to school, after discussions with the concerned school’s management teams certain classes were identified” Thebe said.
The first search took place on Thursday at Thapama High School in Matlapaneng Village and four classes of Grade 10 learners were searched with an approximate number of two hundred and thirty learners (230).
The search produced no results, but upon searching the grounds of the school, 2 knives and a small bag of dagga were found in the school grounds arousing suspicion that learners threw them out of the window when they noticed Police’s presence.
In closing address Pudimoe SAPS’s Vispol Head Capt Mohule warned learners that school’s surprise visits are going to be regular to try and curb school based violence particularly since police found knives on the school grounds.
He further warned that in future Dangerous Weapons Act will be used to charge those found with such weapons irrespective whether one is a learner or not.
The operation continued at other schools namely Pudimoe High School where approximately three hundred and fifty (350) learners were searched, and a similar number was also searched at Maatla High School.
“Learners at both schools were frightened at first, but later thanked the police for their presence and requested that such operations should be routine since it makes them feel safe at their schools” he said.
After the search, police met with school’s safety teams with a view of strengthening relations to ensure that schools remain a place of learning and that bad elements are removed from schools forever.

Perhaps the seeds of Jackie Selebi’s downfall were laid long ago, when he was still Reverend Khumalo, writes Karima Brown.
Johannesburg – In South Africa we have a cultural practice which requires us not to speak ill of the dead. This is why the man who had Jackie Selebi charged with corruption, which led to his conviction and jailing, had this to say on hearing about his passing: “I think we should acknowledge the contribution he has made to our struggle for liberation and learn from the mistakes he made that led to his arrest and conviction for fraud.”
