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.”“We condemn the torching of properties of community leaders, as ours was a peaceful protest,” he said.
“The premier heard of the protest that began on Sunday and decided to drop everything and go address the community after a report came in on how the situation had spiralled out of control. We strongly condemn the acts of arson which is nothing but criminality. The premier has promised to attend to the community’s grievances of service delivery,” Ngesi said.
Abramjee PolokoTau First it was 'black foreigners' houses and property that was burnt to ashes, now it's citizens community leaders houses being burned next we gonna watch citizens burning their own houses
PolokoTau Khuma Many other families have been sleeping outside, broken houses or rather no houses, no toilets not even clean water. Is it so bad that they also taste uncomfortability.
Abramjee PolokoTau What wonderful news. The community burned down the right infrastructure. Good for them.
PolokoTau One of the reasons im never working for a municipality again
Missfeliciam PolokoTau Arrest those hooligans and add stupidity on the charge sheet!
PolokoTau Police officers employed through nepotism,bribery (money/sex), fighting for vehicle keys,chatting at work,looking at their nails, hair will never turn up when houses are torched, Seven houses, where were they when they move to 2nd house, 3rd , 4th, 5th , 6th 7th? Shame SAPS
PolokoTau This is beyond shocking, but has been allowed to happen. These are not protestors, but violent, hooligans. Has there not been trouble in that area for a while now? ANC is a useless org unable to solve the problems of it's supporters. But then again you get what you vote for.
Abramjee PolokoTau Now this is progress! Destroy the houses of those tht are supposed to be representing you. Its high time we hold our representatives personally accountable!
Abramjee PolokoTau And Cyril says the taxi driver biggest mistake was voting incorrectly. 🤷🏾♂️
PolokoTau This is how the ANC trained their members to treat the opposition. Now it's turned around on them. What goes around. Comes around.
PolokoTau Oh dear😟😢
PolokoTau 'riot'
