He said members of the prosecuting authority were locked in a meeting with the director-general and other justice officials to discuss the prosecution of about 500 people arrested in violence that left 50 people dead.
Gauteng police director Govindsamy Mariemuthoo could not say how many of those arrested had already appeared in court.
