Mandisa Duma, one of the women who was assaulted, said an altercation broke out after her friend took out a cellphone and started filming Manana speaking about the ANC succession race. Manana then allegedly assaulted the women, with one sustaining injuries to her neck and ears.
Minister of Police Fikile Mbalula released a statement this morning, saying he took the allegations very seriously.
The minister said: “Protection of women and vulnerable groups are a number one priority of the Police Ministry. Minister Mbalula maintains that victims of abuse and gender based violence who go to the SAPS stations with cases of assault must be treated as genuine victims.
“Minister Fikile Mbalula expects the victim to be treated with dignity and respect. Minister Mbalula further expects that the police will proactively give a feedback to a victim.
“Women deserve love and protection from all of us. The police must be given space to investigate this case without fear or fav, no one is above the law irrespective of their position in society.”
