Two Eastern Cape youths have been arrested for killing a teacher in Nkanini outside Butterworth, Eastern Cape police said.

Delareyville, North West - Police arrested 24 people on Tuesday, allegedly all Democratic Alliance members, for engaging in an illegal gathering in Delareyville, North West police said.

The group gathered at the Tswaing municipality's offices, where they complained about poor service delivery, Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said.

They also accused a councillor of hiring African National Congress members to fill vacancies.

Ngubane said the 12 men and 12 women were arrested after refusing to vacate the municipal premises. They would appear in the Delareyville Magistrate's Court on Wednesday on a charge of illegal gathering. - Sapa
