Police in Kgomotso together with Community Policing Forum (CPF) and Thuo-Boswa Farmers Association held a Stock Theft Crime awareness campaign at Losasaneng Community hall in Losasaneng village, near Kgomotso on Wednesday. Pudimoe Police Station cluster spokesperson, Sgt Tebogo Thebe encouraged a good working relationship between all stakeholders.
“We highly-appreciate the community’s contribution in working hand-in-hand with the police. We also want to urge them to make use of existing complaints mechanism at all police stations by visiting station commander’s office, whenever they are dissatisfied with service rendered to them,” Thebe said.
Greater Taung local municipality, National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the Department of Rural, Environmental and Agriculture Development (READ) were in attendance. Thuo-Boswa Farmer’s Association secretary, Pule Selokane said: “We urge the community at large to join the fight against crime. Crime is committed by people we know within our communities, so let us not protect them. We also need to support our local police by being their eyes and ears.
The North West Community Safety and Transport department was part of the event. The department encouraged livestock owners to tattoo their animals in terms of the Animal Identification act no 6 of 2002.
