💨 Abstract

The KwaZulu-Natal Premier, Thamsanqa Ntuli, launched the **KZN School Safety Programme** to address rising school-related crimes, including violence, theft, and drug abuse. The youth-led initiative involves collaboration between government departments and law enforcement to create safer learning environments. With 2,300 criminal incidents reported in 2024, Ntuli emphasized the need for collective action to protect learners and restore trust in schools.
