PRETORIA - Gauteng's cooperative governance and traditional affairs MEC, Lebogang Maile, has commended the South African Police Service for rescuing three abducted initiates in Duduza, outside Nigel, in the City of Ekurhuleni.
“We commend the police on their relentless effort to clamp down on illegal initiation schools in the province. We are concerned as government that some sections in our communities are undermining the authority of the State by engaging in illegal activities, such as initiation schools,” said Maile. “We are happy that the three have been released to the care of their parents. We call on our communities to be vigilant and guard against those running bogus initiation schools.”
Meanwhile, provincial health authorities in Gauteng on Thursday said six officials in the Gauteng health department’s war room had tested positive for Covid-19 as the number of new infections in the province continues to rise significantly.
