A young DA supporter was brutally attacked by a group of angry ANC protesters. He was hit with sticks and branches, thrown with stones and half-bricks and kicked in the face and head.
According to The Citizen, the man, wearing a DA flag wrapped around his neck, came within a block of Luthuli House, at a spot where a group of ANC supporters had gathered.
"Noticing him, the angry group started to chase him and threw stones at him. Members of the Umkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans’ Association (MKMCA) attempted to stop the mob from chasing the man down, but couldn’t control the group of about 20 people who were after him."
"Luckily some sense prevailed and some MKMVA members intervened; an older Indian man wearing an ANC T-shirt managed to bring calm."
"The police also arrived with pepper spray and managed to get to the injured man."
