Arson at ANC offices 'an attack on people of Sedibeng'

The ANC in Gauteng on Monday condemned the torching of its Sedibeng offices.

The blaze started in the early hours of the morning.

"At this stage the report we have from the caretaker, who was at the property at the time, is that he was awakened by the sound of breaking windows and the next thing he knew the building was on fire. He escaped unharmed," said the party's head of communication in the region, Tasneem Motara.

"A case of arson is being opened this morning with the Vereeniging police."

The party said it viewed the incident as an attack on the people of Sedibeng.

Police spokesperson Capt Kay Makhubele told TimesLIVE that a case of arson would be investigated.

No arrests have been made yet.
