Six learners from three schools benefited from the initiative, with two learners each from Christmas Tinto Primary, ACJ Phakade Primary School, and Lwandle High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-giving-back-to-the-community\">Giving back to the community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Event organiser Sgt Tembakazi Maqekeni said the initiative forms part of the Women\u2019s Desk\u2019s commitment to giving back to the community. She explained that officers frequently see learners walking to and from school without proper uniforms, and in some cases wearing worn-out shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause we work in the community every day, we often see these children going to or coming from school without proper uniforms. Some wear broken shoes. We approached teachers to identify at least two learners from each school who would benefit from the donation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maqekeni added that she and her colleagues personally contributed funds to purchase the uniforms. She described the project as the first of many planned initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe intend to make this a quarterly initiative. This was our first step \u2014 we were testing the waters \u2014 but we hope to assist wherever we can,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-building-trust-beyond-law-enforcement\">Building trust beyond law enforcement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>She emphasised that the broader aim is to build bridges between the officers and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want people to understand that a police station is not only a place for arrests. It is also a home away from home. Community members with any kind of problem, even personal matters can come to us, and we will refer them to the relevant stakeholders,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-boost-for-learners-confidence\">A boost for learners\u2019 confidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teacher <a href=\"https:\/\/iol.co.za\/capeargus\/news\/2022-08-11-grade-r-teachers-demand-formal-recognition-by-the-western-cape-education-department\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/iol.co.za\/capeargus\/news\/2022-08-11-grade-r-teachers-demand-formal-recognition-by-the-western-cape-education-department\/\">Somikazi Mtya<\/a> from Christmas Tinto Primary expressed her appreciation for the officers\u2019 efforts, describing their work as \u201ca stunning job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that a new uniform will boost learners\u2019 self-esteem and motivate them to attend school every day,\u201d said Mtya, adding that many of the school\u2019s learners come from disadvantaged backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parents-express-gratitude\">Parents express gratitude<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Parent Asanele Nzimani from Zola said she was overjoyed by the gesture. Currently unemployed, she said she is unable to afford a school uniform for her child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so happy for my child. I thought the officers would only give him school shoes or grey trousers. I was surprised when they gave him a full uniform and a school bag. I don\u2019t have words,\u201d said Nzimani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lwandle Police\u2019s Women\u2019s Desk donated school uniforms to underprivileged students, aiming to
