“I’m impressed with your record of handling one of the most common crimes in the area, stock theft. As we entering winter, you must be wary of gender-based violence at this time of the year. Yes, it’s down, but it may raise its ugly head at this time of year.
“You must also guard against being infected by the coronavirus in your line of duty because your area becomes very cold during the winter months. Be careful and stay healthy for your communities and always protect them from vicious criminals,” she said.
