A case against three Ventersdorp municipal workers was postponed by Ventersdorp Magistrate’s Court amid further investigations.

Beatrice Mosepele, 49, Siphiwe Jankies, 36 and Ester Sekgwe, 39, appeared before Ventersdorp Magistrate’s Court yesterday after they were arrested for arson.  

The case will resume on October 15 for formal bail application.

North West police spokesperson, Captain Paul Ramaloko said that the trio allegedly colluded in putting up a fire which torched Ventersdorp municipal offices a month ago during poor service delivery protests.

“They are suspected to be part of a small group which was against the amalgamation of Ventersdorp and Tlokwe municipalities. The arrest was made on Thursday by the Provincial Public Violence task team established to deal with public violence cases in the province.” Ramaloko said.
