A 60-year-old man was arrested at Masoyi by the police in connection with the incident in which ANC offices were set alight yesterday.

It's alleged the suspect came to the offices of the ANC in the morning, alleging that his complaints were not being attended to and demanded to speak to the Liaison Officer.

Unfortunately, the officer was not available at that time.

It's believed the man then became furious and reportedly took out a 2 litre bottle filled with petrol from his bag.

He then started to pour petrol over the employees that were present as well as over the offices and set them alight then walked away.

The authorities were alerted about the incident and the fire was extinguished.

Three offices were reportedly damaged by the fire however no one was injured.

The suspect was later arrested and will appear in court soon.
