Man charged with the Sunday’s fire at the South African parliament building

A man has been charged over Sunday’s fire that severely damaged the Cape Town parliament buildings. An investigation has been referred to South Africa’s Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, known as ‘the Hawks’.

“A 49-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with housebreaking and theft, arson and will also be charged under The National Key Point Act,” the South African Police Service said in a statement. The 1980 National Key Points Act grants protection to sites of national strategic importance.

Police said the suspect was spotted by members of the Protection and Security Services soon after the fire started, and caught “with suspected stolen property.”

“The case was referred to the Hawks’ Crimes Against the State (CATS) team for further investigation. The motive for his actions is subject to investigation,” they added.
The suspect is due to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
