Addressing participants, Brigadier Lethoko highlighted that the fight against crime cannot be left to the police alone and called on all stakeholders and community members to play an active role.
“Today, we want to ask a different question: What is my role? We are not here to blame but to recognise that the fight against GBVF starts in our homes and requires all of us to take responsibility.”
The engagement brought together police, CPF, other law enforcement agencies, traditional leaders, and civil organizations who reaffirmed their commitment to coordinated efforts aimed at preventing GBVF, supporting victims, and addressing other crime-related challenges.
