Sean Greyling responds: "
Ons het vriende daar en hulle se dit gaan oor Ratanda die swart gebied wat staak oor hulle krag en dat 90% van die winkels toe is hulle het die Chekers super safe vanoggend aan die brand gesteek en dat Johannesburg se Polisie ook in geroep is vir hulp en hulle het begin om rubber patrone en traan gaas te gebruik.Ek is so bly ek en my familie het besluit om daar te trek

Parys-Broadcaster News-Views: "Problems where are we going to run to Sean. It seems to be breaking out in lesser and greater degrees all over.
What gets me is that they don't realise that the more they destroy, the less they have? Burn down the school and yes it can be rebuilt.
But that money could be used to upgrade deteriorating roads or keep in the state-treasury so that the fuel-levies arent so high.
They just think about 'me, myself and I with no thoughts for tomorrow."
