Woman watches as home is petrol bombed by Coligny protesters
Johannesburg - A distraught Coligny resident has told News24 how all she could do was watch as protesters petrol bombed her house with her pets still inside on Tuesday morning.
"Everything was burned down. I couldn't save anything," Diana Swart, 45, who was struggling to hold back tears, said on Wednesday afternoon.
About three houses were burnt in the area following protest action that was allegedly sparked by the death of a 12-year-old boy.
Police confirmed that two people have been arrested in connection with the murder.
Swart who has been living in the area for 35 years said one of her pets that died was her dog, which she had had for 14 years.
