The Ekurhuleni West Cluster\u2019s Women\u2019s Network and Men For Change organised a team-building event at the Germiston Lake, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The gathering saw members of the SAPS cluster come out in numbers to join in the fun of teambuilding exercises and competitions throughout the day.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe aim of the event was to boost the morale of the members and encourage them to network within the cluster,\u201d said cluster commander Gen Auma Korae.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe members also needed to take a break and unwind a bit, so that they are mentally fit to fight crime.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe also thank the members, through this programme, for all their hard work, time and dedication to serving the cluster and community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to network, as it will enable the different stations and units to work well and effectively together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Korae also expressed her gratitude for the use of the venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother thank you goes to the metro for making the venue available to us to use; they were very cooperative,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Tug-of-war, sack races, a potjie competition and ”fill the bucket” were some of the activities on the day.<\/p>\n

A prize-giving ceremony was held later that day, where trophies sponsored by Liberty were handed out.<\/p>\n
