Did I find myself right in the middle of community work …? Yes. Do I find it rewarding …? Yes. Fulfilling …? Yes. Positive …? Yes. Am I hooked…? Yes.
Attended this launch yesterday. Botswana Police Service (BPS) and Botswana Defense Force (BDF) have joined forces to combat crime and lawlessness during the festive season. A commendable initiative, which should in my humble view, run all year round. From observation, the thieves are by this time of year predominantly done with us. In recent years it would seem they have now shifted and conduct their business a little earlier than Christmas as they have gathered that we only tighten up security during the December / January holidays. Crime starts to rise from bo September, through October and November. That’s when the thugs are doing their holiday shopping.
As Communities, let us come together and improve on our security. A major concern ke di-passage. Passages expose us to infiltrating by criminals as they are easy access and exit points. Gated communities … BW regulatory authorities, we need to move with the times. Kante what takes so long ? What is it that stiffles our thinking and action..? And most importantly, as an individual and responsible citizen (or would human being drive the point better), play your part. Don’t piggy back on others to take care of your security and wellbeing. Take interest. Attend meetings. Pay your share of contributions. Don’t be that person.
To close and lighten up the proceedings, Tautona did mention that our armed forces are learned mo go thuntsheng le go deala le batho ba ba bodipa !! So, passop !!
