The African National Congress in the Western Cape denounces any incitement of people to take the law into their own hands.

The ANC says that vigilantism is a form of criminal behavior that is punishable under the law.

This statement comes after the arrest of Ses’khona leader and ANC Provincial Executive member Andile Lili for his incitement of violence made publicly earlier this week.

Faiez Jacobs said we want to make sure that our members respect the rule of law and everybody is innocent until proven guilty.

Jacobs added that “I think for us that is a very important point, we fought for the constitution and democracy”.

We will investigate the matter as the ANC and that is our approach, Jacobs added.
