EFF: Manana must be characterised as trash
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has lashed out at deputy Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Mduduzi Manana, calling him trash.
This follows an altercation at the weekend, where Manana allegedly assaulted a woman at the Cubana restaurant in Fourways, early Sunday morning.
The woman took to social media to post her injuries.
"The actions of Manana make being a man a matter of shame in South Africa. He is the perfect example of a man that must be characterized as trash. We urge all other men who will have to deal with his case from the police station to the highest in the political party and the state not to protect him or blame the victim as it is usually the case," says the EFF's Mbuyiseni Ndlozi.
Ndlozi says Manana must hand himself over to police.
"Manana must also name all the men who helped him deliver the assault as it is clear he was not the only one doing the beating. If his admission of guilt is genuine, then he must hand himself over to the police with immediate effect and call out his corroborators," says Ndlozi.
Management at the Cubana restaurant says it is aware of the incident and has initiated an investigation.
