Free State
Project Name/Description:
MANGAUNG FCS
She joined the SA Police Service sixteen years ago as a constable and has not looked back since. Born in Thaba-Nchu, when she joined the police service, her base was the Mangaung Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences unit, where she went on to prove herself as a dedicated officer seeking justice first for victims. Bokamoso is armed with qualifications such as a degree in forensic investigation, a diploma in police and human resource management, and she is currently pursuing her honours degree in police science. She is regarded as an exemplary officer, a role model, and this is due to her work. With several awards in the bag, at both provincial and national levels, she earned these by ensuring victims of rape get justice and perpetrators are sent to jail. She is fearless when it comes to protecting the country, regardless of her gender. Currently, she has arrested more than 850 suspects, making sure that they are successfully convicted, with ten life imprisonment successes. When she is not wearing her uniform, she has contributed school shoes, uniforms, and fifteen wheelchairs to the needy around Bloemfontein. Bokamoso is indeed the embodiment of what South Africa needs when it comes to service and caring for the community.
