Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa has welcomed the arrest of six police members, implicated in the death of a protester in the Free State last week.

Andries Tatane died of his injuries after being severely beaten during a service delivery protest in Ficksburg on Wednesday.

Ministry spokesperson Zweli Mnisi says it is important that the public does not pre-judge the case against the six.


It has been reported that Tatane’s family believes that he had been deliberately targeted and assassinated.
