“I have promised to meet with the leadership of some political organizations that have been involved in the situation. This morning … I had a meeting with the EFF leader, in the next 24 hours I will have a meeting with the FF Plus leader.

Cele said that the authority of the state will not be abandoned and that people cannot be allowed to intimidate the state, as happened last week.
The chaos unfolded outside Senekal magistrates court last Tuesday after the appearance of two men accused of Horner’s brutal murder. The farmers who attended the court proceedings broke into the court building, damaging the property, as they demanded that the two suspects, Sekwetje Isaiah Mahlamba and Sekola Piet Matlaletsa, be turned over to them.
The disgruntled group also overturned a police vehicle and set it on fire.
“It is not permitted. This time we will be ready. This time we will be there to protect state property, to protect the integrity of the state, and to protect human beings even when those people are suspects. They cannot be handed over to anyone to take care of, ”Cele said.
He said the government was doing its best to speak to all concerned about the events in the city, “but when, but when the time comes, the state forces will defend the state’s authority, its property – life and integrity physical”.
