COPS INVESTIGATE ATTACKS AGAINST IFP MEMBERS
Reports that Inkatha Freedom Party members in Hlathikhulu on the outskirts of Estcourt were recently attacked by men dressed in SANDF uniforms are being investigated by the KwaZulu-Natal midlands police.
Cases of assault, theft and intimidation were under investigation, police spokesman Captain Harry Gwala said on Monday.
Residents of Hlathikulu were allegedly attacked on Friday morning by men wearing SA National Defence Force uniforms, he said.
IFP spokesman Velaphi Ndlovu said the intruders attacked sleeping residents, ransacked their homes and then fled with cash, cellphones and firearms.
Ndlovu said it was of particular concern that the intruders were wearing SANDF uniforms.
"This changes the nature of the intimidation and assault at Hlathikhulu radically and unequivocally. We appeal to the authorities to leave no stone unturned in their search for the perpetrators," he said.
