 Its been years in this community of Ga- Makgopa village having a mine operation and it seem to have been better because there was lack of theft and crime because people where working even though there were not working all of them but it calmed the situation of theft and crime down.

The Ga-Makgopa community is in Sekhukhune fetakgomo Tubatse municipality and we have two operations the Twickenham mine and hackney shaft but since the Twickenham mine closed down it has being a challenge in the community of theft and crime the stealing of electricity cables, goats etc.Crime is adding up little by little and its uncontrollable because they would say since the is no more jobs crime is the way since the beginning of this year people’s goods where being taken and cables where being cut from their poles it’s a dangerous society to live in now of the closing operation.
