A 29 year-old man opened a case of intimidation at Mahikeng Police Station after he was allegedly intimidated by ANC members in Ngaka Modiri Molema region on Tuesday.

EFF staunch member, Lebogang Baakanyang said that he was at a local complex when approached by unruly ANC members and intimidated him. Baakanyang said the perpetrators allegedly forcefully undressed him and took his beloved EFF t-shirt away.

“They told me to come to the ANC office to fetch my t-shirt, which I did. On my arrival, I was surprised when they handed me ANC membership forms. They forced me to fill the forms and afterwards they gave me the ANC t-shirt to wear. They undressed and harassed me in full view of public,” Baakanyang said.

The EFF Regional Secretary, Neo Moroeng said: “We condemn the act of ANC members as this was form of anarchy. This form of anarchy displayed by ANC members is a sign of ill-discipline and desperation within the ranks of ANC to cling to political influence within the Ngaka Modiri Molema Region. This is not
an isolated case as another EFF member was assaulted in
Ramosadi, in Mahikeng recently,” Moeroeng.

However ANC in Ngaka Modiri Molema Regional Secretary, Priscilla Williams said: “I cannot respond instinctively to the matter because it has not reached my office, however if indeed that was what happened, we condemn the act because ANC is a voluntarily movement where anyone joined voluntarily. We will engage with our structure and see what really transpired. I do not think those were our members because our members do know how to behaviour. We always encourage political tolerance at all time,”

North West police spokesperson, Colonel Sabata Mokgwabone said that a case of intimidation was opened, however no one has been arrested and investigation was underway.

“We can confirm that a case of intimidation has been opened, however no one was arrested yet. In another incident where they said one of EFF member was assaulted, I cannot confirm anything because the matter has not reached us yet,” Mokgwabone said.
