Crime-infested Somerset East raises concern

These are the words of 32-year-old Tshekologo Bundu of Somerset East location in the Francistown East constituency as she relates to Mmegi, her several encounters with criminals while staying in this crime-infested area.

For the past nine years that she has been residing in this location, Bundu says she has been living a perilous life and has known no peace. If it was her choice she said, she would not allow her children to grow up there. Had it not been for the fact that she is trying to eke out a living in the city, Bundu says she would have instantly headed back to the serenity of her home village of Thumu, which is a few kilometres from Mopipi, in the Boteti Sub-district.
