Noordwes-polisiewoordvoerder tree af
STELLALANDER-VRYBURG: Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone (56), provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder en hoof van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) se kommunikasie-afdeling in Noordwes, tree einde Desember af ná byna 36 jaar diens in die polisie.
Mokgwabone sal sy amp in Januarie ontruim wanneer hy amptelik aftree, 15 dae voordat hy 36 jaar diens sou bereik het. Hy sê sy besluit om vroeër as beplan af te tree is geneem om meer tyd saam met sy gesin deur te bring, nadat hy vir 15 jaar werksaam was weg van hulle af. Hy is 15 jaar gelede van Mahikeng na Potchefstroom oorgeplaas. Sy vrou, Kelebogile, wat by die departement van menslike nedersettings in Mahikeng werksaam is, kon nie destyds ’n oorplasing kry nie. Gevolglik het Mokgwabone gedurende dié tyd hoofsaaklik net naweke, wanneer hy nie op bystanddiens was nie, na Mahikeng gereis.
