KNYSNA NEWS - A number of cases pertaining to an ANC faction brawl at a recent by-election registration were sent back for further investigation in the Knysna Magistrate's Court today.
The cases were scheduled to be heart in court today, 30 May, but they were discussed in a private meeting between the prosecutors, complainants and accused, where the decision was made.
The charges and counter-charges of assault and intimidation sprout from the registration day for a Ward 8 (Concordia) by-election on 11 May and include a case of assault opened by Yonela Joko, a woman who was allegedly assaulted by ANC councillor Mboneli Khumelwana.
A group of about 40 people who were waiting outside the court building in support of Joko were very upset by the decision.
