Hawks registered 24 matters related to the instigation of the unrest.
"Within 48-hours, the individual will also be charged which means that the number will change to eight. The rest of the matters I am talking about which are twelve, are at an inquiry stage and some of them are already in an advanced stage. Some of them there is still a lot of work that needs to be done."
