Molepolole police have raised concern about the high number of rape cases in Kweneng District. The police officer commanding in the district, Kevin Mookodi, told Mmegi that rape cases in his district were alarming.

Mookodi said between January and March this year, 70 cases of rape were reported while the months of April-June and July-September registered 51 and 42 rape incidents respectively.
