“They need our prayers and support as they embark on this outreach programme to meet with you this morning to show the love of God,” said Rev Pillay.
Cpt Pillay, together with Sgt Bongi Dlungwane, addressed the patients on elderly abuse, gender-based violence and social ills that are contributing to crime in the precinct with educational pamphlets being handed over to act as a seed towards empowerment of victims of abuse.
“At Chatsworth SAPS, we remain committed to making a difference in the lives of people whom we have been called to serve. We thank God for this opportunity to share and spread love and kindness on behalf of the SAPS, which was made possible by Mr Gregory Naidoo of BP Chatsworth, who pledged sandwiches to the patients. In every community, there is work to be done, in every heart, there are wounds to heal. May this one random act of kindness change the trajectory of the world towards kindness and hope,” concluded Cpt Pillay.
