The awards will be held at the Rantlai Molemela Stadium on Monday, where Acting Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia, together with Deputy Ministers Dr Polly Boshielo and Cassel Mathale, and SAPS national commissioner General Fanie Masemola, will lead senior management and members of the service in commemorating excellence, dedication and service in policing.
