The Limpopo Premier, Mr. Chupu Stanley Mathabatha has strongly condemned any form of violence against humanity.

The province is mourning the deaths of women, children, and men whose precious lives were mercilessly cut short.
The recent spine-chilling incidents involve the gruesome discovery of the body of an 18-year-old girl who was murdered, in an abandoned house at Mokomene, Ga-Thoka village, under Botlokwa policing precinct. The heart wrenching murder of Dr Mehlape, the Circuit Manager of Lebopo Office in the Capricorn District, among others.
“Enough is enough, we cannot let our lives to continue to be cut short in this manner. I implore on all to work with the police and other law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators of these atrocities are arrested. Let us join hands in combating these barbaric acts and uproot them in our communities,” emphasised Premier Mathabatha.
Don’t look away, report crime!
