30 June 2016
Cape Town – The African National Congress in the Western Cape has condemned the pre-election violence which led to two buses being burnt in Cape Town.
Attributing the violence to hooligans taking advantage of the recent candidate list problems in the party, the ANC said no party structures had protested on Wednesday.
"These are acts of individuals who are taking advantage of problems we have had with the candidate list process to perpetuate a state of chaos that allows them to loot and rob innocent people," spokesperson Yonela Diko said on Thursday.
A section of the N2 highway in Cape Town was closed on Wednesday due to protests.
