Media Statement KIMBERLEY – Building fitness, agility, and endurance to meet the physically demanding nature of our police officers, the multi-disciplinary Operation Vala Umgodi in the Northern Cape has adopted physical training as an ongoing professional development exercise of the police by engaging in PT activities on Wednesdays. The fitness activities on Wednesday, 12 March 2025 commenced with an interaction from the SAPS Employee Health and Wellness (EHW) team, Chaplain Ibrahim Maretele assisted by Warrant Officers Virginia Cossa and Kgomotso Bessie, sharing information on services that the EHW section is providing to its members under the theme, “Cough out the Sphlem in your chest” simply citing that members must reach out in faith when they face difficulty and utilise the services offered by the SAPS. Members when faced with any psycho-social and spiritual problems can voluntarily refer themselves, be referred by supervisors or their commanders and or be referred to by a colleague, a spouse, life partner or a family member for EHW services. The Operational Commander Lt Colonel Mongale in thanking the EHW team and in encouraging the team, indicated that these exercises will form part of Operation Vala Umgodi weekly activities as the vigorous task of combating illegal mining activities calls for a fit and focused team.
