Constable Mabulane received a Certificate of Appreciation and a Statuette from Sekgopo Matsorang Foundation on behalf of Sekgopo community. This was a way to congratulate Constable Mabulane for winning Best Visible Policing member of the year 2024 award during Limpopo Province Excellence Awards ceremony held early December 2024, paving the way for him to compete at the National level.
“I feel delighted and grateful for receiving such a prestigious and precious award from Kgoshi Sekgopo Matsorang, the award came as a surprise and I really appreciate the recognition . My dedication to the community is from my heart especially with experience of being a son of a woman who was once a victim of Domestic Violence and GBV for very long time,” said Constable Mabulane. Constable Mabulane says ensuring that justice prevails and service to victims makes him heal from old wounds which he suffered witnessing his mother being assaulted and abused. On the other hand, Mabulane previously scooped two awards from National SAPS bestowed by the former National Police Commissioner, General Khehla Sitole, after recovering over 2 million worth of properties in Midrand and another one for arresting a suspect who robbed a certain church, leading to his sentence.
