BLOCK 6 RESIDENTS  UNKEEN  TO JOIN  NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH COMMITTEE BY TIRELO NKWE.

“I fear leaving my house during December because of crime in Block 6”said Ester letlhare  Block  6 Crime Prevention Committee Chairperson Cluster 5 during the meeting on Sunday 10/11/2012 on the afternoon. The situation in Block 6 is worrying, week in and  week out  people are being attacked. For so many times cases of house breaking has been looming, people being disowned there belongings, vehicle has broken into. Observation made during the investigation is that people are fearful  to walk  during the night alone. Further more leaving valuables behind is the least option to opt for.

It doesn’t rain it pours in Block 6 and this calls for immediate response. For the fight against crime to be successful, it needs collaborative efforts. This idea was first  coined by Botswana Police Service. Now communities have found it imperative to form crime prevention committees to fight crime within their areas as residents.

After realisation that crime was increasing in Block6,the residents formed Crime Prevention Committee in 2008 with the aim of fighting crime in the area. In this committee Resident are supposed to pay a fee of p150 for their house to be guarded. However residents were also  recruited to join the guarding team. Sometimes they involve outside security company if numbers are not enough. This Crime Prevention Committee is monitored by the Village Development Committee, The member of Parliament and the Councillor, they also work hand in hand with the Botswana Police Service to make sure they don’t derail from their objectives.

However, the Block6 Crime Prevention Committee is faced with challenges ,which in turn make Residents not to join it.According to the VDC chairperson Mrs Letlhege  said that one of the  problem that make Residents not to join the Committee is  that  the former  Committee chairperson had used the Committee funds on personal issues,without informing the members and the Residents as well. Further mentioned that the case  is still under the hands of the Police hands. This has made people to leave the Committee she said. In addition emphasized that nowadays they make sure that People who are renting it the area should not join the Executive Committee. As a way to avoid the problems. “jealousy brings divisions in the Committee” she lamented.Commenting on the same issue,Ester  Letlhare  the Chair Person  of Block 6 Crime Prevention Committee said that  they  is marginal number of  people who are interested and some are not interested in it despite strides make to inform them about the need to join the committee.

The investigation reveals that there are various reasons why people don’t join the neighbourhood watch committee in Block 6.These is often determined by level of social life and income.Those determinants are lack of money to pay the fees and ignorance, also other people prefers not to join because they will be covered by their neighbours when their house are taken care of, something that committee members criticize heavily.

“I didn’t join because my house has never been broken into”, said Pinki Oteng Block 6 resident.Residents also said that people don’t join this Committees because they are not trustworthy. They don’t have skilled personnel to fight crime and they don’t have enough resources ‘they hire inexperience people compared Security Company”they said.Observation made is that majority of Residents they live civilised live,they install electric fence and keep dogs a move that they described  as effective as to compared to this Crime Prevention Community.In addition Sub-inspector Tlhapi.M, cried foul  that sometimes Crooks joins the Committee to spy on them,they  take what ever is discussed in the meetings and use it against them. Even though they  try by all meanings to screen the members of the committee before they join “we screen people before they join”said Tlhapi.

Still on that matter, nowdays People keep dogs,electric fence,security walls, some people its expensive  to pay P150:00 the joining fee and same are just ignorance.According to the VDC chairperson  Mrs Letlhege said what  disappointed heir bitterly is that, the leaders of the community particularly members of Parliament The  MP of the area Robert Masitara  does not take part in it. It has been observed that the MP instead  he hired a security guard and installed electric fence in his yard .These are people who are supposed to  leading to the Residents with  example in the community.

However, Residents said that the committee should improve  their  means of communication.They advised the Committee to use mediums  such as social media,such as Facebook to reach out to young People who constantly use them.Or they can open  website to inform people about  the significance of the Crime Prevention Committee  .For heir part  sub inspector Tlhapi,M said that they  inform  people about the committee through, campaigns, and also they work hand in hand with the  committee when ever they are needed to help.Tlhapi also said “they is no law which force people to join the Committee”. That makes our job a bit difficult, she added.Tlhapi said that currently they are trying to come up with laws that will force people to join these Committees .We do house to house campaigns  to teach people about the Committee, she said  Crime Prevention Chairperson Ester Letlhare.She also revealed that they invite in the Business people  to come up with strategic ways to combat crime. When interviews were conducted during investigation it unearthed that  divisions  within the Committee  is caused by members affiliation  to varying  Political Parties.Some they criticise BDP affiliates foe  not be willing to work with them clinically ,vise verse for the other group currently some members  whom  said to be working closely with Robert Masitara others polling to the other side of the current Chairperson of VDC.Trust appears to be  an issue between the Members.

One of the attendants pointed finger at the  leadership of the committee adding that  there is lack of seriousness in the Committee. Also mentioned that ever  since inception of the committee he never received any agenda of the meetings held even being informed of  the meetings itself. Some of the attendants said victims of criminal activity they barely hear about  the meetings.

Even though the Committee is marred with  some challenges, efforts are being done to restore credibility  in the Committee. The Police said they screen thoroughly the history of  members of the Committee’s ,to bring trust on them. On the other side the Block 6 Committee host meetings with  Block 6 Residents to teach them the importance of the Crime Prevention Committee and also its aim. When the investigation was still on progress, the interviewees unwaveringly  mentioned that some people who are in the committee  they work directly  with the thieves in the are. Also went on to mention that these members  they hide  criminals in their houses, however these criminals are their children’s and relatives.

Although the committees plan was to reduce crime by least 10%, in the area, however on the contrary .According Police statistics in 2012  from  April to June  Crime case  totalled  with those from  July to September  is criminal case were  72  with  marginal  difference of 3.Such  criminal acts are  Burglary, Armed Robbery,House Breaking and Vehicle  Breaking.Responding to the question how effective is the Crime Prevention Committee?,E, Letlhare  the chairperson of  Block 6  Crime Prevention Committee “Block is always ahead  of reducing  crime in the area”she said. Further mentioned that they always have  presentation  in Crime  evaluation in  the 3rd quarter  per  year that  showed  that  there are above  9 other clusters.The  Committee do patrols twice a month with the Police “remember  we are close to Mogoditshane which 95% of those  thieves  are  crossing to Block 6”,she lamented.More also on the first quarter of crime evaluation 2013 the area has transitioned from their clean sheet  crime to 75%  compare with other clusters to Gaborone West  region. For his part the Crime Prevention cluster officer for Gaborone West police station superintendent  Motshosi,Called on the Resident  to strengthen  collative efforts in fighting crime as the situation is getting out of control. During the meeting on the 11/10/2013 Letlhare mentioned that  crime has now reigning the area,she cited  that just  recently  people were  robbed 80.000$, something  that triggers fear on the residents. The police investigation revealed that those individuals  were  alleged to have been selling illegal drugs. It has also been witnessed  that every  week there are  criminal  cases reported, some people are  also came forth  to report that  there have been attacked by  thieves. Further one of the attendees mentioned that women are disadvantaged as often they are raped by men so far 2 rape cases have been reported. In the current  crime performance  analysis of 2013 first quarter, crime has reduced marginally these includes, Burglary  and theft  cases reduced from 10 to 5(50%) and Housebreaking and theft cases reduced from 8  to 5(37,5 pula). In addition Crime Prevention Committee, has also devised  innovative  strategies  to combat criminal activities in the area.These include  are sharing of  cell numbers by cluster members  for easy  communication in case of emergency, fitting Burglar  doors and Burglar  windows with a small in between, using of whistle blowing. On the other plans,  identification of strangers by questioning  pedestrians their  destination and requesting  identity cards in  order to reduce idle and disorderliness and, use of inscribing machines  by residents on their electrical appliances  for easy  identification and do workshops .On their  operations and tasks forces,they have closed almost all the Shebeens  and  month end  night patrol  on Friday’s  and Saturday’s  starting from  2200 hrs  to  0200 hrs.

More-ever  the law Enforcers  they  also  teach  people about the significance of the committee, through  Public Education,In cases they also  help community based Crime Prevention Committees  in area were they need skill edification. For heir advice the VDC chairperson  called   for collaborative  effort   upon the Block 6 residents  to fight  crime in their area, and to report people who are agents of crimes in their homes. Some people linked some members with criminal activity saying that there either directly or indirectly engaged. Some Resident mentioned that often  some of members their family members are often involved in criminal acts ,and their never disclosed.“Some  of those thieves are with  us  here”, lamented one of the attendees.

According to the survey done statistics revealed  that   out of 10 of the sample only ten percent of the number  does not know the Committee, and 80%  know about the Committee. However these individuals of 80% they just know  about the committee  but they have decided they will not  be part of the committee. Further more the survey shows nine of the ten samples revealed that  the  one of the is a member also  nine   of them are members of the committee.

In general criminal activity is still looming in block 6 despite efforts taken to curb it. During the investigation it was discovered that people  thieves used knifes to threaten others. However residents they are aware of the Committee but there still don’t want to join it even the turn up for the meeting is still low.
