TAUNG- A Dryharts resident who is a livestock owner is furious at the Pudimoe police. A 44 year-old man went to the police station with trust that he will receive help, but instead he is pointing fingers at the police and accuses them with incompetence.
Tshiamiso Goitsemodimo’s five goats were stolen and slaughtered near Choseng village in 2014. The suspects allegedly loaded the carcasses into a hearse.
They were arrested on N18 road near Vryburg and a case of stock-theft was launched and Goitsemodimo came forward to receive the carcasses of his goats and expect justice to prevails at the end, but that was the beginning of his nightmare.
“I opened a case after I positively identified that those slaughtered goats belongs to me. A case was opened against the suspects, but until now I haven’t received a case number. I just heard from the corridors that my case was struck off then roll, how I do not know” Goitsemodimo explains.
He said he tried to contact stock-theft unit in Vryburg but it seems no one could help him.
“I spoke with to the police there, but they were not co-operative and what I received was the carcasses of my goats and how the case was struck off the roll no one explained that to me” he outlines.
However North West police spokesperson colonel Sabata Mokgwabone said the case was opened and the case number was handed over to the victim.
“The victim was given a paper that confirmed him as the owner of the goats and on that paper, there was a case number. We will look into the matter and we would like to advice the victim to go and see station commander to ask his case to be put back on the roll. According to my understanding, the case was struck off the roll because there was no DNA that can identify that he was the rightful owner of the goats” Mokgwabone said.
According to Goitsemodimo, police handed over only four slaughtered goats even though they found five in the hearse, since they promised him to bring the fifth one.
He also said his two sheep were taken from him by police, but until now he never received them back a year later.
Police always promise to bring them back, but it seems that remains as such.
