The North West Province's police have confirmed that the house of ANC Member of Parliament and murder accused, Sibusiso Kula (34), has been torched. It is not clear if Kula, who is out on R50 000 bail for the murder of his wife, was inside his home when it was petrol bombed.
The incident happened on September 29. Before Kula's house was petrol bombed, there was a fight that ensued at Maradona Sports Ground in Kanana, The Provincial Police spokesperson, Sabata Mokgwabone said: "It is alleged that four men met with members of a security company at Maradona Sports Ground in Kanana, to pay them for services rendered. "Subsequently, a fight ensued and shots were randomly fired and one of security personnel was injured, while the other died later at a local clinic." Brigadier Mokgwabone further said after this incident, two arson cases were reported on the same evening. "That was after the house belonging to Mr Kula was petrol bombed. As a result, extensive damages were caused to his house, while a vehicle that was parked outside the house, was also torched. "
It was also reported that the man who allegedly fired shots at the sports ground, was set alight the same evening. His house and a vehicle were also burnt."
