Coordinated by SSKA Police Station and Mmopane Police Post, the initiative aimed to strengthen collaboration in combating vandalism, theft, and related crimes affecting communities and infrastructure.

The operation mobilized 90 officers from multiple police stations and targeted areas such as Gaborone North, Mmamashia, Mmopane, Ledumadumane, and local scrap metal dealerships. Supported by the Special Support Group’s dog and horse units, teams conducted foot and mobile patrols, vehicle stops, and searches. The increased law enforcement presence acted as a strong deterrent, leading to the questioning of several individuals linked to vandalism and copper theft.The exercise underscored the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder cooperation in maintaining public safety and protecting national assets.

This morning, Botswana Power Corporation commemorated Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Kanye by bringing together employees from Lobatse, Kanye, and Goodhope to share information and raise awareness about breast cancer.

Guest Speaker Mr. Thebe Lesole, Principal Health Officer from Kanye DHMT – Health Promotion Division, encouraged employees to regularly check and know their breasts to identify any abnormalities or changes such as nipple inversion, unusual discharge, or lumps, and to visit health facilities promptly for assessment.

Mr. Lesole also reflected on this year’s theme, “Every Story is Unique, Every Story Matters,” reminding participants that behind every cancer statistic is a real person — each with their own emotions, struggles, victories, and hopes. No two cancer journeys are the same, yet each story holds the power to inspire, educate, and bring comfort to others.

Ms Malebogo Paulos, a senior nurse from Kanye Adventist Clinic demonstrated the steps for monthly breast self-examination, emphasizing that early detection plays a crucial role in successful treatment and that cancer can be eliminated if detected early.

The initiative was proudly supported by Kanye DHMT as part of ongoing efforts to promote health awareness and encourage preventive care among BPC employees.
