Thousands of Galeshewe residents took to the streets, marching to the local police station, protesting against the disbanding of an anti-crime group’s operations.

The group mobilises members of the community to help combat crime and gangsters.

The residents say this group has been helpful in curbing crime in their area.

The streets of Galeshewe came to a standstill when the residents sang and marched to the police station to hand over a memorandum of their grievances.

They state in the memorandum that they are totally against the disbanding of the group by the police.

March organiser Tebogo Obusitse says all they are doing is making sure that the community members are safe.
