Theunissen police have warned the community most particularly women from requesting men to purchase alcohol for them as it put their lives at risk.
Cops were out in full force on Saturday, July 30, in a outreaching awareness campaign that was aimed at sending a stern warning to women to take care of their lives.
Lejweleputswa police spokesperson, captain Stephen Thakeng said different police stakeholders including Social Crime Prevention, Community Policing Forum (CPF) and Youth Desk converged at lepolankeng, local tavern in Theunissen to address the community.
The police stressed that women who do not have money to buy alcohol end up being victims of rape.
“Some men will buy alcohol and in return, they expect sexual pleasures from them.
“Men will eventually take them by force and rape them as payment for the money they spent on them,” said Thakeng.
Women were also advised not to walk alone during the night in remote areas.
