Members of the Primrose CPF, assisted by the Primrose SAPS and Primrose SAPS Crime Prevention Youth Desk, visited Marathon and Delport informal settlements last Wednesday, just before the start of the national lockdown.<\/p>\n

The aim of the visit was to distribute information flyers about Covid-19 in four languages, as well as soap and sanitisers to the communities.<\/p>
