Limpopo
police came under attack on Sunday when residents vented their rage over the
murder of a 16-year-old boy.
Violence
erupted in Saselamani on Sunday night when residents attempted to attack
the police station and in the process damaged a police vehicle, police
spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said.
The violent
protest was apparently sparked by the murder of 16-year-old Wisani Maluleke,
who was shot and killed on Wednesday next to the Maphophe soccer field in
Saselamani, Mojapelo said. The
angry mob started barricading the Punda Maria public road by burning tyres.
