As part of celebrating Mr Mandela’s legacy, the Mpumalanga Department of Safety, Security and Liaison in partnership with the private sector will renovate Victim Support Centres at three police stations in the province.
A provincial commercial radio station (M-Power FM), Lowveld Media and one of the province’s bi-weekly newspaper Ziwaphi will accompany MEC Sibongile Manana to paint the identified centres in an effort to leave legacy on behalf of Mr Nelson Mandela.
Radio and news personalities from these media houses will also participate by serving selflessly in painting the centres.
The aim of the campaign is to work for 67 minutes at the centres to mobilise the community and the broader society to assist not only in the fight against crime but to also assist those who have been victims of crime.
The programme is set to be rolled out as follows:
