Western Cape Metro Police and Safety Lab are embarking on a violence-free-zone programme. 

The slogan of the campaign is Prevention in Action.

Deputy Metro Police Chief Yolanda Faro said the aim of the programme is to mobilise communities to engage in initiatives that promote and ignite preventative action on domestic violence.

Faro added that pilot projects will be conducted in Bonteheuwel as there is high incident of domestic violence and Temperance Town because of the environmental design of the community.

The Prevention in Action Programme will be piloted from October 2012 until the end of December 2013.
