Teenager dies in North West protests
The violent protests by
residents of Taung in North West have
claimed a life of a 16-year-old boy.
Protests flared up in several parts of the province last week with residents calling for the resignation of Premier Supra Mahumapelo.
The police's Sabata Mokgwabone says they are investigating a case of murder.
The circumstances around the teenagers' death are still unclear but Sabata says the Independent Police Investigative Directorate has also been roped in.
Mokgwabone says there have been no arrests in Tuang.
"We arrested 11 suspects in Christiana yesterday, for possession of stolen goods which were looted from shops in the area."
He adds one arrest was also made in Stella on Tuesday morning.
