We condemn assault on police officers

These incidents, as detailed by Assistant Commissioner Near Bagali, are not just attacks on individuals in uniform, but they are assaults on the rule of law that protects us all. It is time for every Motswana to stand up and say this must stop.

Hearing of officers stoned in Molepolole, stabbed in Mahalapye, and attacked with an axe in Mmathethe whilst simply performing their duty is deeply concerning and utterly unacceptable. These brave men and women step forward daily to serve and protect our communities, often facing unknown dangers. They deserve our utmost respect and support, not violence and aggression when enforcing the laws we collectively live under.
