#sapsGP [SAPS TMS WOMENโS NETWORK AND MEN FOR CHANGE TURN A VISION INTO A HOME FOR THE MAJOLA FAMILY]
Lieutenant Colonel Busi Thanjekwayo, the Technology Management Services (TMS) #WomensNetwork Divisional Champion and leader of this initiative, shared the backstory of the Majola family and how what was initially intended to be an initiative to deliver groceries turned into a journey to build a house after members witnessed the familyโs heartbreaking living conditions.
The family was identified by AC Tseleng Marutla from TMS, who resided in Marikana, Soshanguve, not far from the Majola family. This marked the beginning of a journey that would change the lives of the family.
Following discussions, the TMS Womenโs Network and #MenforChange structures decided to build a house for the Majola family. Lieutenant Colonel Thanjekwayo further reflected on the challenges encountered throughout the project but emphasised that the team did not give up. Instead, they persevered, faced the challenges head on and remained committed to seeing the project through to completion.
Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Divisional Commissioner for Technology Management Services, Brigadier Mosoeu, who is the functionary for the day, greeted all guests and expressed the joy surrounding this special occasion.
Brigadier Mosoeu said that the division decided to assist where it could because no one deserves to live under the conditions experienced by the Majola family. She thanked the sponsors for understanding what was needed to assist the family and expressed appreciation to the community and everyone who committed their time and support to the initiative.

The Acting Provincial Commissioner addressed, among other issues, outstanding cases, the functioning of the local police station, stock theft, border fencing, and serious and violent crime. He outlined the SAPS intervention plan and emphasised that SAPS would continue engaging with the community and strive to earn and maintain its trust.
It was evident from the outset that stock theft remained the community's primary concern. Major General (Dr) Ryno Naidoo assured attendees that SAPS is in the process of implementing targeted interventions to enhance rural safety and combat stock theft, and that the impact of these measures would soon become visible. The Provincial Community Police Board Chairperson, Mr Robert Malungane, also explained the concepts of traditional policing and the Community in Blue initiative.
Community members were given an opportunity to raise questions and concerns, which included:
* The alleged non-performance of Makgobistad SAPS;
* The condition of the border fence between South Africa and Botswana;
* Allegations of SAPS members colluding with criminals; and
* Delayed police response times to complaints.
In closing, Kgosi Masibi expressed his appreciation for the efforts made by the Acting Provincial Commissioner. He appreciated the feedback given and added that the visit had restored hope within the community. Although he could not yet say that the fight against crime had been won, he said the community could clearly see that meaningful action was being taken by the police. NP
