He said that it was wrong for people irrespective of their differences to resort to any acts of violence.
"People can have different views on any matter but that does not give anyone the right to turn to vandalism and arson. As government we will not allow people to engage in criminal activities and intimidate people, vandalise and destroy public and private property," said Mokoena.
MEC Mokoena also called upon the law enforcement agents to investigate and apprehend the perpetrators who attacked the municipal manager's house.
"I will be meeting with the law enforcement agents and amongst the issues that l will be discussing with them, is the need to investigate and make sure that the offenders are arrested and are brought to book and face the full might of the law," said Mokoena
He further emphasised that this government has got an open door policy and at all times is willing to engage in dialogue with communities to address all problems.
"We encourage community leaders and the community to engage in dialogue to resolve any dispute. We also urge the community to report those criminals who masquerade as community members and yet they have criminal intentions," said Mokoena
