TAUNG CPF and other stakeholders such as Department of Social Development, National Prosecuting Authority, Greater Taung Municipality, Department of Safety and Transport Management, Taung Business Holdings as well as Taung Youth Battalion, embarked on awareness campaign.

The campaign started with a motorcade from Taung SAPS through Taung CBD, a loudhailer was used to address the community on the need to be vigilant at all times, to reject and report stolen goods and to correctly mark their properties for identification purposes after they have been stolen.

“The campaign specifically targeted theft out of motor vehicle crime which has been on the rise within Taung CBD, businesses around the area closed their businesses for one hour to support the campaign, and business owners joined the motorcade, as a result the motorcade captured the attention of a substantial number of customers” Pudimoe Police Station spokesperson, sergeant Tebogo Thebe.

Captain Jebetle, speaking on behalf of the Cluster Command encouraged the community at large to play an active role in crime prevention particularly the Youth through the recently introduced initiatives of Youth Crime desks at police Stations around the country.

A small formal event took place in front of Shoprite and the event became a success.
