ANC members apparently assaulted eMzinoni marchers
Sanco members say they are depending on the law to protect them.
eMZINONI – Members of Sanco have opened assault cases against ANC members at the eMzinoni Police Station on Tuesday 7 April.
It is alleged that some of the Sanco members were beaten on the Monday night while they were mobilising a march against bad service delivery by the municipality.
Apparently the suspects were beating and shooting those who were protesting and burning tyres.
The victims claimed that the men were using a red kombi that belongs to one of the well-known ANC members and municipal worker.
“The people who wanted to kill us, are the leaders who must protect us.
“They also use former convicts to do their dirty work.”
Some of the Sanco members alleged that the perpetrators were aiming at killing the March organiser, Mr King Mahlangu.
They also alleged that top officials and politicians were responsible for this and said they hope the law will take its cause.
Const Cynthia Mthsweni, police spokesperson, confirmed that two assault cases were opened and that officers are investigating.
