Police failed Thamaga

On Saturday night a group of young men attacked homes in Thamaga, killing an elderly woman in their rampage and leaving two others hospitalised.

The group also left a trail of destruction, as they broke doors, windows, furniture and electronics in the 67 year-old deceased’s house, which seemed to be the gang’s main target in Kgosing ward.

The gang, suspected to be the notorious Merubisi have been in the news for a while. Their modus operandi includes attacking mourners at night vigils and funerals, wedding parties and other social gatherings. They also target entertainment centres robbing and beating up patrons. Early this year, Mmegi carried special features on the Thamaga gangs and how these criminals, some school going children, are running havoc in the once quite and peaceful village some 40 kilometres south of Gaborone.
