Zikalala said he doesn’t want to see this type of violence happening again.
"We visited the Nzimande family, and then we meet with the families of about 22 people who died from the three the wards of Inanda.
"They are investigating 38 cases, but these include the cases that happened in Verulam and other areas surrounding Verulam. But also we were here to ensure that we start the process toward engaging on an intense programme of social cohesion."
