"The culprits do not respect the ANC and its leadership. They are captured by individuals within the organisation," SACP secretary Apson Makaung said on Monday. Makaung made these comments after the SACP and other ANC alliance partners in the Tshwane region, including the SA National Civic Organisation and Confederation of South African Trade Union, postponed the briefing to express their stance on the new mayoral candidate following reports of unrest in the area. The briefing was then rescheduled for Tuesday at Schoreburg Building in the city centre, but has since been cancelled. Makaung had said it was important to hold the briefing once they had updated information about Monday's violence in order to give residents full information. It was reported that a group believed to be disgruntled ANC members overturned a metro police vehicle in Arcadia after the ANC named former Public Works Minister Thoko Didiza its Tshwane mayoral candidate. Other incidents of violence were also reported in Mamelodi and Atteridgeville. It was also reported that an ANC member died after being shot during a clash among ANC members over who should be the mayoral candidate between incumbent Tshwane mayor and ANC regional chairperson Kgosientso Ramokgopa and his deputy, Mapiti Matsena, at the Tshwane Events Centre in Pretoria West on Sunday. Makaung said it was up to the police to investigate the cause of the violence and make arrests.
