heritage
minister’s
office
that
occurred
over
the
weekend,”
national
police

Commissioner
Paul
Nyathi
said.
The
intruders
“seemed
to
have
proper
knowledge
or
an
idea
of
the

layout,”
Nyathi
said,
according
to
The
Daily
News.
“At
this
moment,
I
can’t
disclose
what
was
stolen
as
investigations
are
ongoing.
However,
it
appears
that
the
intruder
or
intruders
had
familiarity
with
the
office
setup
and
entry
points.”
In
a
separate
incident,
Nyathi
confirmed
that
a

engulfed
the
Elephant

“Also
l

confirm
that

and

is
owned
by
special

was
engulfed
in

on
