Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74192, member: 636"] Religious groups in Beitbridge are teaming up with cops to fight crime because housebreaking and robberies keep spiking around the border town. The Pastors' Fraternal is running community meetings at the ward level to tackle sexual violence, drug problems with teenagers, and theft cases that get worse during holidays. Pastor Busani Moyo said they want people dropping anonymous tips about criminals instead of staying quiet, and they're pushing for better street lighting in sketchy areas where crimes happen most. Local MP Thusani Ndou called out residents for protecting criminals even when they're family members, saying rehab beats harboring thieves who'll eventually rob their own relatives. The town clerk confirmed money got set aside for five new tower lights next year, and Econet agreed to install lighting at some cell towers across Beitbridge. [/QUOTE]
