Selepe believes that being a police officer comes hand-in-hand with risking one's life to ensure the safety of greater population. The Westonaria district commander for the Visible Policing Unit knows police work comes with more hazards apart from dangerous criminals. Recently, she contracted Covid-19 while on duty. After making full recovery, Selepe is taking it all in her stride as she's now back on duty."Being a police officer... it's more of a calling.
Her 30-year journey as a policewoman includes being a founder member of Soweto branch of the Child Protection Unit to running the office of police minister Bheki Cele as member the administrative secretariat in 2018."The love for policing has always been there, aside from the fact that my dad was a policeman," she said."Initially, I wanted to be a social worker but due to financial constraints at home I opted to be an officer.
