South Africa: ANC Calls for Calm in Zamdela

press release

The African National Congress (ANC) calls for calm in the Zamdela Township, in Sasolburg, Free State, amidst the protest by residents who are against the proposed merger of Metsimaholo and Ngwathe municipalities.

The ANC respect the rights of all residents to raise their view on any matter that affects them; however we are against any form of violence, intimidation and destruction of public and private property. Our utmost concern is the level of criminal activity taking place, including looting of shops. This will not only affect business in the area but will also affect innocent residents.
