Pupils from Primrose High School were visited by the Primrose police and representatives from Sanca, recently.<\/p>\n

They spoke to the children about illegal substances like dagga and other drugs, as well as alcohol abuse.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

“The pupils were warned to stay away from these things,” said Const Styles Maome, from the Primrose SAPS.<\/p>\n

Achford Waini, from Sanca, told the pupils that they should not believe the myth that if you smoke dagga you will be good at mathematics.<\/p>

He advised them to rather study, as they will reap what they sow.<\/p>\n

Lieut-Col Frans Lepadima, head of visible policing in Primrose, encouraged the pupils to stay away from crime.<\/p>\n

Members of the Primrose SAPS Youth Desk then performed a drama, featuring the topic of substance abuse, for the pupils.
