Six held for store damage

Six people have apparently handed themselves over to police in connection with damages caused to a Vodacom shop at a mall in Polokwane at the weekend.

Limpopo police Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said the suspects handed themselves over to police yesterday.

This comes after the Democratic Alliance (DA) wrote to the speaker of the Polokwane municipality, Mariri Ralefatane, to summon Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) councillor in Ward 13, Oupa Ramaphoko, to appear before the ethics committee for allegedly being an accessory to the alleged vandalising of a Vodacom store in the province.

The EFF in Limpopo was accused of the vandalism in retaliation to a slide at a keynote address by Corruption Watch chairperson Mavuso Msimang that referred to the EFF party as “abusers of democracy”.
