Laudium Councillor Essop told Vision Tactical that it’s encouraging to see the launch of the JOC.
“I would like to take my hat off to the Station Commander of Laudium for reaching out and allowing this to happen, this is only for the benefit of the community and we hope that it yields positive results.”
