The four-day operation that took place from May 25 led to several recoveries.
Mangochi Police Deputy Publicist, Amina Daudi says “Basadi” which means ‘women’ in Sotho and Tswana languages is an operation by female police officers across countries in the SADC Region and it focuses on combating priority crimes particularly against women and children, such as defilement, rape, assault, human trafficking, domestic violence and child labour among others.
“The main purpose of the operation is to display the active role female police officers play in law enforcement.
“The SADC Region operation was established in 2013 under the theme: ‘We are on it, gender-based violence must stop,’ ” said Daudi.
