The Provincial Commissioner of the police in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Mondli Zuma calls on the community to refrain from destroying property whenever they are disillusioned with something.
General Zuma’s call stems from nasty developments in Siyabuswa wherein two schools were torched, reportedly by some sections of the community dissatisfied with issues surrounding recent by elections held in the area.
The schools, the Siyathokoza Senior Secondary School and the Thabana Senior Phase School were apparently set ablaze between yesterday evening, 8 June 2018 and this morning.
General Zuma pleaded with members of the community to refrain from violence, the destruction of property and infrastructure, let alone schools whenever having a dissatisfaction or complaint.
“On Monday a number of learners will not have access to classes thereby causing a disturbance to their academic program and their future. A society that does not take care of its children is a doomed society”, said the General.
Police have opened cases of arson for investigation and are appealing to anyone who may be able to assist police in their investigation to contact Detective Colonel Kgobeng Magakwe 082 302 6621 or the SAPS Crime Stop number, 08600 10111.
