In Makeneng, One of the officers spoke to us mainly: concern, communities are reluctant to be witnesses of the cases, therefore, they don’t report cases which are happening in their vicinity, this is due to fear of the consequence of being intimidated by the captive of the family members. They encourage the community to assist them to identify de criminals in order to reduce crime.
