Get involved in preventing crime in your community.<\/p>\n
This is the passionate plea Raymond Mlaza (20), chairman of the Primrose Crime Prevention Youth Desk (PCPYD), is making to the youth of Primrose.<\/p>
Mlaza has been a part of the PCPYD for two years, since a friend invited him to be part of a performance at a local school.<\/p>\n
The day\u2019s events and the message given to the students sparked Mlaza\u2019s interest and he became a member.<\/p>
He was later elected as chairman by other members of the group and will continue in this position for two years.<\/p>\n
The group focuses on awareness campaigns, school searches and motivational performances (with themes dictated and\/or determined by the school the group visits), as well as activities that showcase the talents and interest of the members and young people in the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pride ourselves on being the eyes of the police, with special focus on the youth of our community,\u201d said Mlaza.<\/p>\n
He encourages people, between the ages of 15 and 35 years old, with a passion for helping the community to join in the group meetings, which are held every Monday evening, from 5.30pm to 6.30pm, at the Primrose Methodist Church, in Primula Street.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe work as a team to better our community; through the work we do we have become a family and look forward to welcoming new members into that family,\u201d Mlaza concluded.<\/p>\n
