Vice-chairperson Rejeanne Louw and member Belinda Weiss from Gordon’s Bay Spiritual Crime Prevention Group distribute rulers with a difference to excited Temperance Town Primary School learners.

Rulers became tools for change when Gordon’s Bay police’s Spiritual Crime Prevention Group used them to spread anti-bullying messages at two primary schools on Tuesday 11 February.

The group, alongside Khayelitsha Sub-district Community Policing Forum chairperson Marlon Solomons and deputy Donovan Brown, distributed the stationery to launch their annual anti-bullying campaign at Temperance Town and Gordon’s Bay primary schools.
