It is glitz & pomp and things are lit this Friday evening as KwaDukuza SAPS hold their Excellence Awards at the KwaDukuza Town Hall in honor of the men-and-ladies-in-blue who go an extra mile when on the line of duty.

Delivering his congratulatory remarks, the District Mayor Cllr Thobani Shandu said: “Whilst these awards are bestowed to those who show courage in dangerous times, they also honor those who work behind the scenes. Each award has a story. A story of bravery, a story of sacrifice, of going above and beyond. Every police officer deserves our appreciations.”

The awards have four categories, namely: Support Services, VisPol, Detective Services and Special Awards. Amongst those attending the awards ceremony Station Commander Brig. Mhlongo, Junior Station Commmander Thobani Ngcobo, Inkosi Gumede, the Mayor and Speaker of KwaDukuza Municipality and KwaDukuza CPF Chairperson Dr. Zungu.
