The ANC said in a statement that "following extensive deliberation the national working committee resolved to convene a meeting of the NEC between conferences tomorrow.

 

ANC Women’s League says vicious attack on woman a 'stupid primitive act'

The ANC Women's League says it is "saddened by video images of a group of men wearing Siyavuma t-shirts brutally assaulting women" outside the party's headquarters, Luthuli House yesterday.

The woman was part of Black First Land First protesters hauled out of a bakkie and attacked by ANC members claiming they were acting in defence of their "revolutionary house".

The person who carried out the assault is Thabiso Setona the ANC branch secretary zone 12 in the Greater Johannesburg region.
