Public Education Can Help Fight Defilement

Letlhakane police in an interview with this publication registered a concern on the ever-increasing rape and defilement cases in their policing area.  Letlhakane station commander, Michael Maphephu says they have made an observation that some of the communities in their policing area lack information, especially when it comes to defilement.

This dark cloud does not only affect the people of Letlhakane and surrounding areas, but it is a nationwide problem that needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Many perpetrators of these crimes are male, and it is extremely rare to come across a woman having a sexual relationship with a minor.
