It is still a shock with a number of questions to many on why the Mpumalanga ANC offices were torched, how ever others suspect a foreplay.
A 60-year-old man who identified himself as “Gazi” was arrested at Masoyi in connection with the incident in which the January Che Masilela house in Mpumalanga was set alight on Thursday Morning.
It is alleged that the suspect came to the offices of the ANC in the morning, alledging that his complaints were not attended to and he wanted to speak to the Liaison Officer. Unfortunately the Liaison Officer was not available at that time. When told that the person he was looking for was not there ,hell broke loose as he became furious and reportedly took out a 2 litre bottle filled with petrol from his bag.
While everyone was shocked on what was happening in was late as teh man started pouring petrol over the employees that were present as well as some offices and set them alight then walked away.
