Police minister Bheki Cele revealed at a media briefing in Durban on Tuesday that a possible 'big fish' in instigating the recent deadly violence and looting has been arrested.
“He has been arrested, I think this morning, which I guess will take us forward to break other platforms of the people that have come together.
Cele also provided a detailed report of the situation in Phoenix, including that 36 people lost their lives in the area — 30 of whom were shot. “In total, police are investigating 52 cases of attempted murder and probing nine cases of common assault and 16 cases of assault GBH,” he said.
