ANC pair told to report to cops

would happen if the two failed to hand themselves over, Janse van Rensburg said the police would be forced to search for them.

She declined to elaborate further on the case.

On the evening of the fight, both DA and ANC officials involved opened criminal cases against each other for investigation – with the latest being opened on Friday afternoon.

The cases varied from assault and intimidation to assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

While police have officially remained tight-lipped, several sources have called the footage “damning” and “overwhelming”, with glasses and jugs seen flying around the council chamber.

Maqula said yesterday: “I did not get a call from [the] police. I don’t have a case.

“Did they say on what case? No, even those who are my friends did not call me.”

Lungisa said the police should also tell Kayser to turn himself in.

“I did not get a call from them [police],” he said.

“But I am interested to find out if they are also looking for Rano, whom I opened a case against.

“Was Rano assaulted sitting in his chair? Why are they not also looking for him?

“Or else they have decided to take a political side as the Humewood police and deal with this on racial lines.”

The footage shows Lungisa and ANC councillor Makhi Feni near the speaker’s bench in an argument with Kayser.

The fight then spiralled out of control, with a warning shot fired.

In another video that surfaced recently, showing the area outside the chamber, a man, believed to be Maqula, is seen with his back to the camera.

The man lunges at chief whip Werner Senekal as Senekal tries to escape a confrontation with other councillors.

During the chaos, the man leans over a crowd of people and appears to jab something into Senekal’s back or shoulder.

The footage then shows the man jumping back while Senekal is ushered inside the council chamber.

Witnesses to the attack have since come forward to the police.

Senekal confirmed he had opened a case with the police on Friday, saying he had been injured in his back.

He declined to discuss the details of the attack, saying it was in the hands of the police.
