Ekurhuleni community safety MMC Letlhogonolo Moseki says there's more to the violent Tembisa protests than meets the eye, and that a political agenda cannot be ruled out. | ntwaagae

"Without a doubt, this is criminality. How do you justify the torching of a municipal building and cars?" Moseki asked."They damaged a building that was meant to service the residents of Tembisa. We are of the view that this is a criminal element.

"We are clamping down on all those activities. We can't rule out that it is politically motivated. Our investigators are on the ground. Once it has been confirmed that it is politically motivated we will identify those behind it. This has a third hand behind it," he said.There is no doubt that these are efforts to render our coalition governance ungovernable, six months into office. We are not playing when we say all those behind the violent protests will face the law.

Four people died during the violence and 31 vehicles, including many that belonged to the municipality, were torched. A municipal building was also torched and looted.Two people were killed while attempting to blow up two ATMs at the Tembisa Customer Care Centre, and another two were shot dead during the violence.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
