MOKOPANE – The proceedings kicked off with a look at the station’s progress over the past year. Sgt Wimpie Nel from the Mokopane SAPS, said the police station did well in the past year.
“There is a big improvement. Mokopane police station will be one of the top police stations again. The improvement is all thanks to you who sit here and the Station Commander, Col Isaac Mantjane.”

The Secretary of the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco), Tlou Sasa, addressed the guests and made it clear that Sanco is not a political organisation but there for the community.
“A worrying issue that increases daily is the gangsterism and drug problems in Mokopane and the surrounding area. There are even police members who look the other way when these offenses are committed. Some are even involved with these activities themselves. This has to be stopped if we are to be successful in this endeavour. I’m calling on everyone, police and the community, to work together. This will be the only way we will win this fight.”
