Stakeholders reflect on policing related issues.

Different stakeholders from the Ngaka Modiri Molema District gathered at the Embassy Hall in Mahikeng to engage on challenges related to policing, provide suggestions and solutions to improve police service delivery.

The engagement was led by the Acting Head of the Department Mr Molefi Morule and Mr Phillip Mahlangu from the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service (CSPS).

Setting the tone of the engagement, Mr Morule said government is formulated by different departments that work coherently and not in silos in order to achieve its mandate.

“We are interdependent, therefore we can't do without each other. We are a people centred government, we listen to our people and work in an integrated manner to improve the lives of our citizens," said Morule.

He highlighted that today's process was a culmination of many other engagements that have unfolded within the five local municipalities in the district.

Mr Mahlangu appreciated the stakeholders represented and their participation to the engagement.

"There is a need for an integrated approach to succeed in building safer environment for our communities. Fear of crime has tortured the nation. Therefore we need to all find solutions regarding crime and all societal issues," said Mr Mahlangu.

Stakeholders raised concerns about an increase in drug abuse, gender-based violence, stock theft cases and other serious crimes.

The information received from stakeholders will assist the Minister in coming up with interventions on how to mediate crime related issues and empower police service.

There was a concerted approach by all stakeholders present to work together in fighting crime.
