With thousands of mourners expected to descend on Lerala for his funeral Saturday, law enforcement officers have called for caution and discipline on the roads to ensure seamless movement. No. 2 District Officer Commanding, Senior Superintendent Nelson Galani, assured the public that the Botswana Police Service is fully prepared to manage the anticipated large crowds. “As we anticipate a large turnout, we are more than ready to make sure the burial is a success and that mourners’ safety remains our top priority,” he told MmegiOnline in an interview.
“We will set up roadblocks along all main routes leading to Lerala, conduct patrols in and around the village. There is likelihood of opportunistic petty crime during the funeral and we will be ready to ensure peace and order prevails.”
