BDF officers among Thamaga gang

A secondary school teacher based in Palapye is also being questioned for his role in the gang after he was  found transporting the gang members and entertaining them with beer the night before the gang went on a rampage in the village. Police are also looking for traditional doctors who are believed to be providing the gang with ‘lucky charms’.

The civil servants are reported to be the ringleaders, aiding gang members even though they are government workers. This was confirmed by the police at a Kgotla meeting on Saturday. They said that the gang is led by a few civil servants.
