Soil of Africa Demands Immediate Deployment of Crime Prevention Units to Schools
Soil of Africa urgently calls on the Premier of Gauteng to take decisive action by ensuring the visible and permanent deployment of Crime Prevention Units in township-based schools. The safety and future of our children are under serious threat, and the time for visible, consistent policing in our schools is now.
We are giving the provincial leadership 72 hours to allocate and deploy these units in schools across affected areas, particularly in townships where school-based violence is escalating. Should the Department of Education, Department of Community Safety, and the Office of the Premier fail to act, we will escalate this matter in accordance with Section 17 of the Constitution (Act 203 of 1993).
We are heartbroken by the tragic and senseless killing of Lethabo Matula (19) Grade 11 learner at Lesedi Secondary School in Lethabong, Pretoria East — a young, bright soul with great potential. This is a loss not just to the family but to the entire nation.
