A 50-year-old Parow man has been arrested for allegedly making telephonic death threats to Deputy President Thabo Mbeki. His office said on Friday that the arrest should send a clear message to those considering any such actions, that they will have to face the legal consequences of their acts. Mbeki was threatened in five calls made over the past week, twice at his residence, while three calls were made to the Athlone offices of the African National Congress.
