SAPS to promote fitness and wellness on National Police Day

The South African Police Service (SAPS) will on Thursday celebrate its annual National Police Day by promoting fitness and wellness within its ranks.

The day will entail sporting codes and fitness activities to encourage members’ participation in sport and to institutionalise health and wellness culture in the organisation.

Last year, the SAPS signed a memorandum of understating (MOU) with Virgin Active and Planet Fitness to ensure that members remain physically fit and healthy.

The day’s festivities will start with a fun run at 05:30 and as well as an aerobics session. Members will participate in various sporting activities such as netball and soccer.

Police Minister Police General Bheki Cele, the Deputy Minister of Police Cassel Mathale and the National Commissioner of SAPS, General Fannie Masemola will take part in exercise activities.

Cabinet approved 27 January as National Police Day in 2005.
