North West’s department of public safety says acts of intimidation and arson in Tlokeng village, near Swartruggens, has prompted police intervention.
The unrest apparently started with the alleged ritual murder of 25-year-old Thabiso Moloi.
A car and house belonging to the owner of the tavern at which Moloi was last seen were torched and the tavern owner has been intimidated.
After Moloi’s funeral over the weekend, angry community members blocked roads with burning tyres.
A high-powered police deployment arrived in the village yesterday afternoon to mediate for restraint.
