6 ANC councillors’ houses torched in violent North West protest

As Premier Job Mokgoro arrived in a police Nyala on Tuesday to address the angry community, houses were still being destroyed by raging fires.

“The situation was veering out of control and at some point we asked police senior officials to send officers to surround houses that were not yet attacked and it seems they went there only to evacuate the people, leaving the properties exposed.” Mokgoro’s spokesperson, Vuyisile Ngesi, confirmed that the premier and MECs for local government and community safety – Gordon Kegakilwe and Sello Lehari – were driven into the township under heavy police guard.

“He promised to add Khuma’s issues to the executive committee meeting tomorrow, especially after realising that some of their grievances are not within the municipality’s competency. The premier will then also meet the community again tomorrow.”“This is a mining area and there are issues of dolomite. A team has been activated to come and assess if the land is not dolomitic before a decision is taken on it,” he said.

Finally people are blaming the right people. Our problems in SA are not from foreigners or old flags or the Guptas.......It is this current version of MYANC. Once a shining light to the world, now an poisonous parasite slowly draining our country's resources.

WATCH | North West mob torches trucks after causing them to jackknifeTwo trucks were set alight in Lichtenburg, North West, in the early hours of Tuesday. This is disgraceful vandalism and destructive behaviour. And it's been going on for a while now, yet law enforcement seemingly has made NO inroads into prevention and catching of these hooligans. Another blow to our economy and a victory for unemployment and disinvestment.

ANC redirects xenophobia narrative as Magashule blames ‘imperialist and colonial’ forcesThe ANC is redirecting the current narrative that explains the recent violence as being a result of xenophobia. Instead, the party is blaming it on criminal elements, the scramble for scarce economic resources & attempts by “third forces” to destabilise SA Here we go again. Anyone and everyone to blame ... but them. I wonder who/what exactly is to blame for the “scarce resources” anyway? Could it possibly be 25 years of Socialist policies and ... ANC LOOTING!?!? 🤔 For as long as they shifting blame they end this. Ban employment of foreigners and informal businesses case closed. You can't allow job seekers in a country that is faced with high rate of unemployment, thats asking for problems.
