The partly-burnt offices were shut down last year, forcing locals to travel outside their villages for such services.

Another resident who wished to remain anonymous said:"Since the offices were closed, we do everything at Lebowakgomo ... and it's far. And we start by doing an affidavit at the police station, then go to the municipality."

A video clip recorded inside the offices shows broken furniture, windows, ceiling and toilets. Department of traditional affairs spokesperson Motupa Selomo said they withdrew their staff from the offices after they were chased out by one of the warring factions. "When everything is back to normal we will be sending out our team to asses the building and we will escalate it to the department of public works for refurbishment," he said.
