Letlhakane's rapid upward trajectory of rape worrisome

Various interventions such as comprehensive public education by the police specifically designed to curb and flatten the rapid upward trajectory of rape in the village, have failed to bear any fruit. 

According to police figures, 106 rape cases were registered in the village and its environs last year. From January this year to date, the village has recorded 26 rape cases and it is on a path to maintain or surpass last year’s figures. Six cases were recorded over the last two weeks. Now, due to incessant incidents of rape, Letlhakane has earned itself the moniker of rape capital of Botswana.
