(MENAFN) South Africa's Justice Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster has condemned brutal incidents in the North West as civilians started damaging properties and raiding stores.
It follows a continuation of deadly protests that were temporarily halted on Friday after erupting a week ago.
JCPS Cluster spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini declared "the Justice Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster is dismayed by the renewed violence and criminality accompanying public protests in different parts of the North West Province."
The spokesperson continued "it is incorrect and unacceptable that people should turn to violence, loot shops and destroy property in the name of their demands."
Dlamini added "we condemn in the strongest possible terms the rise in looting and destruction of property as well as all forms of violence. Such lawlessness will not be allowed to continue anywhere in the country."
