Congress officials have abandoned their Cape Town office after
disgruntled party members threatened to storm the provincial headquarters.
Yesterday, police had to be called
after a group occupied the offices and held senior officials hostage.
They are protesting about the selection
of candidates for the local government elections.
About 30 people
from the Barcelona, Kanana and Europe informal settlements in Gugulethu are
protesting outside the ANC Western Cape’s Thibault Square office, which is deserted
and locked.
The demonstrators are accusing leaders
of replacing their preferred candidate for ward councillor.
