Controversial Afrikaans singer Sunette Bridges says her protest action at the foot of the statue of Paul Kruger in Church Square, Pretoria was against the vandalism of all statues in the country.
Bridges threatened to chain herself to the statue if the mayor of the City of Tshwane did not collect a petition to protect heritage sites and symbols.
Bridges said a representative of the mayor's office obliged earlier on Wednesday, which meant she would not have to spend the night with 'Oom Paul'.
The statue of Kruger and two bronze sentries in Pretoria were defaced with green paint over the Easter weekend.
The FF Plus laid charges against the EFF which admitted to being behind the defacing of the statue.
In Port Elizabeth, the EFF has come out in support of Monday's damaging of the horse memorial and in Uitenhage three men attempted to burn the Anglo Boer Memorial Statue in the town's market square last week.
