The community stood up in support of the police recently, by joining a successful \u201cStop Police Murders\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n

The event was held under the auspices of the Germiston Cluster CPF.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe day was a huge success,” said Jean Ingram, vice-chairman of the Germiston CPF.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarting at Shoprite, in Leondale, with a procession of the SAPS, together with the Germiston Cluster CPF, the drive ended at Alberton City.\u201d<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The event was opened with a prayer by Chaplain Patrick de Wet.<\/p>\n

Also in attendance were Chaplains Lynette de Wet and Gerta Coetzee Oosthuizen.<\/p>\n

CPF members handed out over 15 000 flyers and awareness ribbons to members of the community, to show concern for the number of police members who have been killed on duty since January 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who serve and protect have become targets, and it must stop,\u201d said Ingram.<\/p>\n
