Six more arrests in Duduza

Six more people have been arrested after protests last week in Duduza, east of Johannesburg, the SABC reported on Sunday. 

 

Captain Johannes Rampora told the state broadcaster that five people were arrested for public violence and malicious damage to property. 

 

A sixth person, a Somalian man, was arrested for attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm.

 

On Thursday, violence and looting erupted in Duduza after the shooting and wounding of a 23-year-old man, allegedly by a Somali shop owner who sold him a used airtime voucher.

 

The six would appear in the Nigel Magistrate's Court on Monday.
