A case of malicious damage to property and trespassing was opened after Reitz residents protested at the Nketoana
municipality's offices, Free State police said.
Sergeant Majang Mosupa said protesters removed a name tag from the door of the municipal building.
No one had been arrested. Police were keeping a watch on the area.
SABC news reported earlier that locals wanted municipal manager Sipho Thomas to resign. They were accusing him and another senior official of corruption and nepotism.
Mosupa could not confirm this. -
