Komani police are investigating a case of arson after a police building was destroyed in a fire on Sunday, January 29 in Komani.
This coincides with the burning of the historical Komani Town Hall on the same day last year.
The town hall, built in 1882, was the fourth building of the troubled Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality to catch fire in a space of a year.
Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the building housed the SAPS’s supply chain management unit.
“It is alleged that at about 16:00 on the mentioned date, police were alerted to a fire at the building in Creamery Street in Komani. The fire department was on the scene and extinguished the fire. All SAPS files, furniture and computers were destroyed.
“The cause of fire is not yet established, and a case of arson is under investigation,” Naidu said.
