Kimberley - Crocodile farmer, televangelist and drug rehabilitation owner, Pastor Rooies Strauss intends opening charges against Premier Sylvia Lucas on Friday, after making a citizen’s arrest when he found a group of people stripping vacant school buildings in Karos village near Upington.

“If the premier gave them permission to loot the building, then she should be arrested too. If the police refuse to arrest her, we will arrest her ourselves.”“Instead, myself and the people who assisted me in making a citizen’s arrest were searched and were accused of taking a cellphone.” “The MEC for Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, Bentley Vass, was also on the scene and tried to calm the community members and the complainant.”“It is believed that a bus with approximately 25 males allegedly assaulted community members who retaliated by calling for assistance from community members in Karos. They also allegedly fired shots with three gas pellet pistols into the community. No injuries were reported.

“The police advised both the complainant and the community to register complaints at the local police station, although at this stage no cases have been registered. The spokesperson for the Office of the Premier, Bronwyn Thomas-Abrahams, denied that the premier had given anyone permission to vandalise the school.
