It went on to say, “As the ANC in Joburg, we strongly condemn any acts of violence against any person, more so women.”
As the ANC in Joburg we strongly condemn any acts of violence against any person, more so women. The ANC Greater Joburg does not subscribe to the notion of people violently assaulting those who hold contrasting political views.

The ANC added that the man would face disciplinary processes.
Thabiso Setona’s acts do not represent what the African National Congress stands for, and as a consequence of his revolting behavior, he will face a disciplinary process hastily.
