How the law left the building

The old Mahalapye Police Station has become a haven for criminal elements since police officers here relocated to their new state-of-the-art office on the west side of the urban village early this year. A company contracted to renovate the old police houses has partially demolished the buildings, leaving a mess of bare electric wires that could pose danger to both adults and children who often play in the area. Some of the electric wires and plumbing materials seem to have been removed by criminals. The entire roofing and fence have been removed.

Some evidently use the area to relieve themselves whenever nature calls. Used condoms can also be found here.
