DA lay charges after attack at Durban march
It’s unclear what led to the incident which occurred just outside the Pavilion Hotel on Friday.
THE Democratic Alliance have laid a charge of assault after an attack on one of their members on the Durban beachfront on Friday. DA KZN Leader, Zwakele Mncwango strongly condemned the attack. It’s unclear what led to the flare up, but the incident occurred just outside the Pavilion Hotel on Friday.
A video of the attack shows ANCYL members assaulting a man with a DA t-shirt. Police intervene and put the man into the back of a police vehicle for his own protection.
“We have laid criminal charges against the ANC for incitement to violence, and have opened a case of assault and political intimidation for the assault on our member. The party marched entirely peacefully, and although the message against Jacob Zuma was firm, our supporters’ peaceful and lawful conduct must be praised,” he said.
