Villages Complain To Khama

With the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) almost ever-present in Zimbabwe, the people of Botswana's border villages are in a quandary unique to the frontier.

"The crime rate is too high in this village," said Kgosi Oganne Polson at the Matshelagabedi Kgotla. "I urge you to increase the number of local police in our village."
Kgosi Polson said the three local police officers and five special constables in the village are overstretched by the ever-increasing crime in Matshelagabedi, which does not even have a patrol vehicle.
