walk and sports day, last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The day was planned for the community of Dukathole and its surrounding areas and saw the company partnering with the EMPD and Germiston police in what is hoped to be the first of many Youth Month celebrations.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make this a yearly event,\u201d said Ndima Rawana, site services director for Johnson Matthey SA.<\/p>\n<p>The event began with the community meeting on Main Reef Road before walking to the Dukathole Stadium.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>During the walk, community members handed out pamphlets containing safety tips to motorists and other community members, in the hope of raising awareness about the crimes affecting residents in the area.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Johnson Matthey SA crime walk\" width=\"500\"

facing off against teams from the Germiston SAPS and Johnson Matthey SA.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from the departments of community safety, social development and health, as well as Sanca and People Opposing Women Abuse (Powa), addressed the guests during lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Each department and\/or organisation explained how they were involved in the community and gave residents details on how they could be contacted in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The company deemed the day a success, with approximately 500 people joining in the festivities.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-125871
