POPCRU concerned over growing mental health crisis

First Take SA

The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) in Gauteng is sounding the alarm on a growing mental health crisis within the province's security cluster, following a recent tragic incident where two Gauteng Traffic Provincial Inspectors died in a suspected murder-suicide. The union is speaking out against the lack of effective mental wellness programs and is calling for proactive strategies to address the issue, including early detection of suicidal behaviour. Joining Elvis Presslin to discuss this further is Richard Mamabolo, spokesperson for POPCRU
