The South African Police Services must be applauded for the swift arrest of 11 suspects allegedly involved in the Bekkersdal tavern massacre.
Whilst we applaud the police for the arrests,we expect the police detectives to investigate during their interrogation to find out who is the mastermind of these barbaric tarvern/shebeen attacks.
We have said before that these senseless and mass killings at taverns and shebeens in townships around the country are very suspicious.
We suspects strongly that these are not just innocent incidents.
There is a 3rd force behind these senseless killings.
When one looks at the calibre of people who have been arrested it is clear they are working for someone.
If these suspects are found guilty in the courts, the court must send out a very strong message that lawlessness will not be allowed in the country.
