Police boss warns of crime ahead of Christmas

Speaking at a Kgotla meeting addressed by Batlokwa Paramount Chief Puso Gaborone last week, Thokweng said the villagers should strengthen the neighbourhood watch committee as part of their effort to fight the escalating crime rate. He added that the residents may also introduce what he called citizen patrol.

"As residents of Tlokweng, you could emulate what other residents in some parts of the country are doing. For instance, those who are not going for the festive season could unite and then what we will do as the police is to dispatch a police officer to accompany them to patrol the village," he said.
