Show Notes
North West provinces abandoned satellite station in Lichtenburg, once serving Boikhutsong, Blydeville, and nearby farms, now a haven for drug users and criminals after repeated vandalism. Established in 1992, the station shut down in 2018 due to public violence and was attempted to be restored in 2024, but fresh vandalism ruined the work. Residents face challenges traveling to the main station for crime reporting and document sorting. The empty building fuels crime, breaking trust in police and slowing response times. Police prioritize safety with regular patrols and sector deployments, handing the repair issue to the public works department.
