Earlier, police said one of its foot patrols was attacked in De Doorns on Monday (14 January).

"I was informed that the officers used a stun grenade and not rubber bullets to disperse the group," he said.

Three people were arrested for public violence. One was allegedly found in possession of dagga.

"The affected farm areas are quiet at this stage. Police are still monitoring these farms," he said.
