Minister of Police stressed the importance of taking women and children cases seriously to new recruits.

"Women and children are under siege. I ask you to be kind to women who come to report a crime. You need to stop everything you are doing and go help them," Police Minister Bheki Cele said as he welcomed the last batch of newly trained constables into the ranks of the police.
