South African Police Service (SAPS) Deputy Minister, Dr Polly Boshielo, will this week lead the launch of a Campus Community Safety Forum at North West University’s (NWU) Mahikeng Campus.
“The launch forms part of the SAPS and Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) continued commitment to strengthening safety at institutions of higher learning through the establishment of Campus Community Safety Forums,” the police said in a statement.
“These forums provide a collaborative and proactive platform for the SAPS, campus management, students, staff and other stakeholders to work together to prevent and combat crime both on and off campus, while promoting safer learning and living environments,” the statement said.
The launch will take place on 13 and 14 August 2026 and will include the signing of a Campus Community Safety Forum pledge, as well as a career exhibition aimed at exposing students to career opportunities within law enforcement. – SAnews.gov.za
