A 51-year-old pastor has been arrested for
the murder.
Phiyega said the community needs to allow
the police to do their investigations.
Police Spokesperson Lieutenant General

commissioner to continue engaging religious leaders as well as the community
leaders in Pongola, to ensure that clam is restored.
“Since last night there have not been any
incidents reported but we have deployed additional police officers in the area
to ensure that the calm and law and order is maintained” Makgale added.
