The South African Police Service in Limpopo are harshly condemning the public violence that keeps on re-occurring in a number of clusters whenever community members are not satisfied with certain issues in their areas.
This condemnation follows an incident of public violence, arson and malicious damage to property which occurred at Goedplaas village outside Modjadjiskloof in the Tzaneen Cluster after members of the community went on a rampage and torched the local Municipal Ward Councillor’s house and a motor vehicle.
Listen to the police report:
“It is alleged that community members accused their Ward Councillor of a variety of issues. They mobilised themselves, attacked her home and subsequently burnt the house with its contents and a motor vehicle to ashes. The police were summoned, reacted swiftly and arrested eleven (11) suspects,” Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe said.
The estimated damage caused is more than R400 000.
