Pretoria — The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) will be embarking on a human trafficking campaign to raise awareness about the crime.
The week long campaign, which will run from 1-8 May, will see officers visiting shopping malls and schools, where they will educate residents and learners on what human trafficking is.
EMPD spokesperson, Chief Superintendent Wilfred Kgasago, said the campaign aims to prevent more women and children in particular from becoming victims of this modern day form of slavery.
"Officers will educate residents on what human trafficking is, how to identify traffickers and which emergency numbers to use to report incidents of human trafficking or suspected traffickers," said Kgasago.
The emergency numbers including the metro's life threatening emergency numbers that can be used to report incidents related to human trafficking are 011 458 0911 or 10177, 112 from a mobile phone and 0800 10111 for the SAPS
