The Community Against Abuse (CAA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) held an awareness raising event on Saturday 13th December in Retreat. The theme for the event was ‘Sports against crime’. The event was held on an empty field within the community:
Children were attracted by the jumping castle and face painting.
A tent was set up to accommodate exhibition tables and speakers from CAFDA, Rape Crisis, Mosaic, Positive Muslims and DOJ. Lawyers from the University of the Western Cape were available to answer questions from community members.
Various organisations were invited to speak about what they could provide to the community and to answer questions:
Advocate Mohammed gave a detailed account of bail conditions.

The community listened attentively to all that was being said.
