Rustenburg - Four men were arrested after a truck was set alight and two cars damaged in Majakaneng south of Brits on Wednesday, North West police said.

“It is alleged that passing motorists were pelted with stones and that led to damages of two vehicles while the third one, a truck was burnt,” said Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone.

Mokgwabone said the four men are expected to appear in court soon facing a charge of public violence.

He said the police were monitoring the situation at Majakaneng where some members of the community barricaded N4 road near Sun City off-ramp.

Community members apparently barricaded the road after they were evicted from privately own farm land they had been illegally occupied.
