With the schools closed for Easter holidays, Thabong South African Police Service (SAPS) Social Partnership embarked on a career exhibition, on 5 April 2013 at 11h00 at the Thabong SAPS.
More than 40 grade 10 learners from Lebogang, Teto, Lephola, Thotagauta, Nanabolela, Leseding, Letsete and Lekgarietse Secondary school attended the exhibition in full uniform to listen attentively about the different careers within the South African Police Service. Members of the Community Policing Forum (CPF), Junior Chairperson of the CPF, The Junior Station Commander and his Deputy also honoured the event with their presence.
More than 50 careers within SAPS the learners were taken step by step by the SAPS career Centre through the different procedures and qualifications needed for entry level in this organisation. The learners received pamphlets on the different career paths that entail the job description and proper guidance in what one needs to study at Higher Training Institutions.
The learners were motivated and moved by wise words of Deputy Chief of Youth Section in the Department of Education Mr George Sethunya Fothoane who said: “As a learner once you lose focus on your dream it’s gone.”
Lt Colonel Moleleki Matshabu also encouraged the learners to join the SAPS once they have matriculated or completed their studies. “SAPS is looking forward to getting more of the young people who are not involved in criminal activities to carry this organisation forward. They are the future of a progressive policing which provides excellent and innovative services to the communities,” said Matsabu.
Captain Matladi Sello thanked the learners for attending the exhibition and showing interest in policing. The Junior Station Commander Mr Neo Setai and Junior CPF chairperson Me Ntumiseng Selela jointly compered the event.
