LEARNERS GET TO KNOW ABOUT THE

DEPARTMENT

 On 29 May 2008, the Department of

Community Safety and Liaison hosted 15

 learners as part of the ‘Take a Girl Child to

Work’ initiative.This is one of the ways that

the department takes issues of  youth

development to the fore in a bid to create a

caring service.

A nice touch for this year’s event was that boy

learners were not excluded.  The MEC for

Transport, Community Safety and Liaison

Addressed these learners and encouraged them

not to close their eyes to the global village on

 which everyone now belongs to as

globalization  is becoming more and more of a

reality.
