Free State MEC for DESTEA, Mr Makalo Mohale welcomes the arrest of perpetrators who committed the horrible and racist attack at Masselspoort Resort on 25 December 2022.
The MEC applauded the SAPS for acting swiftly on the matter and whereas the two of them are released on warning, he is delighted that one perpetrator who is facing an attempted murder charge, will spend a night in jail before appearing in court on 29 December 2022.
"We call upon the court to mete out a harsh sentence to these men in order to deter potential perpetrators from committing similar offences, " MEC concluded.
