As reported by Government online platforms, the PM was speaking during the launch of the National Safety and Security Operation campaign at Matsanjeni, Lavumisa on Thursday morning.
“Crime continues to rear its ugly head as new crime trends emerge on a daily despite the work that is being done on the ground. Crimes such as murder, rape and Gender Based Violence continue to be thorn and a cause for concern in the country as the frequency of cases recorded is constant and alarming.Crime undermines societal values, impedes economic growth, and erodes trust within communities. To combat this, the Government remains committed to supporting robust crime prevention strategies. However, success requires collective action—every citizen, community leader, and stakeholder must actively contribute.The Government of Eswatini prioritises the safety and security of its citizens, recognising them as fundamental pillars of our Kingdom's prosperity. Together, we must strive for sustainable solutions to ensure that no community lives in fear of crime or criminals”, said the Prime Minister.
