60 Days of Action on Crime and Road Safety Unleashed in Kanye

In a resounding show of unity, the heart of Kanye bore witness to the electrifying launch of the "60 Days of Action on Crime and Road Safety Campaign." Government institutions, parastatals, and the vibrant Kanye community gathered in full force at the Kanye main Kgotla to kickstart this vital initiative. This dynamic campaign sets its sights on a two-month crusade (November and December) where it rallies the public, law enforcement, and various stakeholders to actively combat crime and enhance road safety. Kgosi Kebapetswe Telekelo, while extending gratitude to the Botswana Police for choosing Kanye as the campaign's launch host, raised a poignant concern regarding the surge in drug abuse within high schools. He attributed this alarming trend to guardians who exploit children in the illicit drug trade. He passionately implored the community to join hands with the police, acting as vigilant sentinels against crime in their village, urging them to promptly report any suspicious activities. Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations, Mr. Solomon Mantswe, underscored the potential for a safer festive season through a change in mindset. He emphasized that adhering to the law and aligning with Vision 2036's pillars would yield numerous benefits. The event's success reflects the unwavering commitment of Batswana in their fight against crime. This vibrant campaign, in action since 2011, promises to be a catalyst for a secure and thriving future.
