Disgruntled residents of Bethlehem expressed their frustration about the increase of drug abuse.
Disgruntled residents of Bethlehem in the Free State have expressed their frustration about the increase of drug abuse in their area. They raised their concern with the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Ronald Lamola, at an Imbizo held at the local stadium.
Dihlabeng residents gathered at the local stadium to deal with issues of substance abuse and gender-based violence. They were also encouraged to report criminal activities in their communities. “Our grievances with this guy are, he has been involved in stock theft cases and drug dealers are being protected by the same police general. Now we say enough is enough today with this police general. We have got so many cases that we can put on record that he is involved with. One which I want to make an example which I want the minister to follow it up with his headboy who was arrested for stock theft. The allegation is he once died but how was he released from the police cells.
The Minister of Justice and Correctional Services has implored residents to work with their leaders to fight social ills in their communities.
