Rehoboth residents launched a petition called "Clean Up Our Streets," asking police to fight against illegal drugs and alcohol trade. Social worker Levina Negongo said the campaign lets people speak out about drug dealing and alcohol problems in their town. The community wants more visible police presence and better law enforcement to stop drug trafficking and substance abuse. They believe current failures to enforce laws have led to more crime, violence, and poverty throughout the area. Residents hope their petition will create positive change.
The petition requests several specific actions from authorities. People want regular roadblocks at town entrances, random vehicle checks, and sniffer dogs to catch smugglers. They demand that police reveal drug dealers' identities publicly and search young people who might carry drugs for others. Shutting down unlicensed shebeens ranks high on their priority list, along with creating neighborhood watch groups across all areas, including Banhoff. Many worry about corrupt officers who help dealers instead of stopping them.
Negongo explained that everyone deserves safety and protection from harmful substances. Criminal activity grows whenever enforcement becomes weak, and trust between police and citizens disappears when authorities fail to act. The community believes these problems put their future at risk. Their petition represents a call for immediate action from law enforcement agencies.
