Mogoditshane: The city’s crime haven :: Mmegi Online

Mogoditshane commonly known as Mogadishu just a stone's throw from Gaborone is a rioting and dangerous place with hive of activities where there is no peace. Mmegi Staff Writer PINI BOTHOKO observes that the village remains a crime haven keeping the police on their toes

The densely populated location with over 57 ,000 people is the first stop for the majority of people who relocate from far-flung villages to look for greener pastures in Gaborone targeting the place for its cheaper and affordable accommodation. It is also inhabited for illegal immigrants for the same reasons.

The exodus of people into Mogoditshane has resulted in thugs moving in as well and claiming their spot. People’s goods are stolen everyday whether during the day or night and not even the comfort of their homes can keep them safe as the perpetrators continue to find a way of breaking into houses even in the presence owners.
