Multitudes today (05/09/2026) braved a cold and windy day to pay their last respect to former Deputy Commissioner of Police, Security Intelligence Services, Mr Harold Seutlwetse Mogale at Phomolong Memorial Park in Phakalane.

Speaking on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Deputy Commissioner Katlholo Mosimanegape described the late Mogale as a visionary leader whose legacy would continue to inspire generations of police officers.

He said Mogale was remembered not only for his distinguished career, but also as a calm strategist, mentor and patriotic servant who made a lasting contribution to national security.

Deputy Commissioner Mosimanegape conveyed condolences to the bereaved family on behalf of the BPS and urged them to remain steadfast in their faith, drawing strength and comfort from the Lord.

Mr Mogale’s illustrious policing career began in 1975 when he joined the then Botswana Police Force as a Cadet Inspector. Over 32 years and 11 months, he rose through the ranks, culminating in his appointment as Deputy Commissioner of Police in 2001, before retiring in 2008.

The Botswana Police Service (BPS) recently joined other law enforcement agencies across Southern Africa in strengthening regional capacity to prevent, investigate and respond to Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

The two-day virtual Regional Training Workshop, held from 31st August to 1st September 2026, was convened by the INTERPOL Regional Bureau for Southern Africa (RB Harare) under the auspices of the Southern African Regional Police Chiefs Co-operation Organisation (SARPCCO).

The workshop brought together officers working in GBV, victim-friendly, family and child protection functions across SARPCCO Member States. Discussions focused on strengthening investigative skills, regional cooperation and gender-responsive, client-centred and rights-based policing.

Participants explored emerging challenges, including technology-facilitated abuse, drug and alcohol-facilitated GBV, human trafficking and other forms of exploitation that may transcend national borders. Key areas included information and intelligence management, forensic and digital evidence, cross-border intelligence sharing, safeguarding and survivor-centred case management.

Representing Botswana was Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Goitseone Lorato Ngono, the Director of Gender and Child Protection Branch, who facilitated a session on Information and Intelligence Management in GBV Investigations. The session highlighted the importance of transforming information from victims, crime scenes, forensic evidence and digital platforms into actionable intelligence to support investigations, identify repeat offenders and strengthen early intervention and cross-border cooperation.

The workshop underscored the importance of effective first response, competent officers, reliable intelligence systems and strong partnerships in ensuring that victims receive appropriate support and perpetrators are held accountable.

Through continued participation in regional initiatives, the BPS remains committed to strengthening professional policing competencies and partnerships towards safer communities and a coordinated regional response to GBV.
