Mmopane Burglary Incidents Trouble Police

Many people who migrate from their home villages for greener pastures or in search of opportunities in Gaborone make their first stop in neighbouring villages like Mmopane, where they look for cheaper or affordable accommodation. However, this comes along with vices like the spike in criminal activities as the population rises in the village.

Urbanisation of the village has also come with changes in lifestyle and mindsets of the residents.  Neighbours have become ‘unneighbourly’, something that gives criminals the advantage. Officiating at the handing over of a house to a needy family on Friday, Police commissioner Keabetswe Makgophe revealed that burglary incidents remain a concern in Mmopane.
