Senior Superintendent Nanga Mutswana of SAPS provincial training said this is the third time this year that this initiative is being done. The first was held in Kimbler Park on April 14 and the second was in Hillbrow on August 13. “The reason we are doing this is that we want our police to be fit, because we have many fat police,” said Mutswana.
