Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa has been asked to urgently set up a commission of enquiry.

This comes after a man was beaten to death by police in a service delivery protest, in Ficksburg.

Setsoto Municipality Mayor Mbothoma Madona said people in the town are angry.

He added that one death is unnecessary when people have come to peacefully protest.

ANC Brian Sokutu says “While we send condolences to the family of the deceased, we call on Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa to institute an immediate commission of inquiry and bring the perpetrators to book”.
