A senior traditional leader in Vhembe, Thovhele Gole Mphaphuli lambasted killers and abusers of women and children, during his outreach programme at Tshikhudini outside Thohoyandou on Saturday.
Mphaphuli's words comes amidst the spate of ritual murders, kidnappings and incidents of mob justice in the Vhembe area.
Mphaphuli, who has 76 chiefs under him, said that he had watched with dismay the ever-increasing number of people who became victims of ritual killings, crime perpetuated against women and children and mob justice. He urged all who have evidence on such cases to share it with police instead of involving themselves in mob justice.
A full report of the event will be published in Friday's printed version of Limpopo Mirror.
