'It is our humble appeal that the community of Caledon remain calm and allow the investigation to take its course.'
The Western Cape ANC claimed that the protesters were shot but in the same breath stated that"only an independent investigation will give credible answers".
"It is alleged that there are political parties who are at the forefront of these protests. These parties are willing to put lives on the line to advance their agendas," he said. "Illegal action such as this puts the community and SAPS in direct confrontation. It also takes rights away from law-abiding citizens and has a huge effect on jobs," he said.
