The Free State SAPS Diving unit, in collaboration with Mangaung Fire and Rescue, conducted a cleanup operation of the waters of the Loch Logan Waterfront at the Bloemfontein Rose Garden on 25 February.
This initiative, spearheaded by the Bloemfontein SAPS Diving unit, aimed to remove debris and potential hazards from the water. The operation reflects the SAPS’s commitment to public safety.
During the cleanup, members of the Provincial Social Crime Prevention unit engaged with shoppers at Loch Logan, distributing pamphlets and educating the public on essential safety measures around bodies of water. This outreach was to raise awareness and promote responsible behavior.
The SAPS Diving Unit intends to continue this project and is seeking partnerships with other stakeholders to ensure the sustained cleanliness and safety of the area. By fostering collaboration and community involvement, the SAPS aims to create a safer environment for all.
Sgt Mahlomola Kareli said the SAPS encouraged the public to remain vigilant and adhere to water safety guidelines. Community members are also urged to report suspicious activities or potential hazards.
