Cape Town – A DA election motorcade was stoned in Crossroads, while in Johannesburg stones were hurled at buses transporting DA supporters to a rally on Sunday.
A stone smashed a window of DA supporter Leon Brynard’s 4×4 in Crossroads. No one was injured.
“We just came here to share our message with the people of this area,” Brynard said.
In Gauteng, police spokesman Neville Malila said: “We received a report that two buses were stoned on their way to Kliptown.”
The driver of one of the buses was injured and taken to hospital. No criminal case had been opened. Malila said there was no indication of who had stoned the buses.
DA Gauteng premier candidate Mmusi Maimane said the buses were damaged in “ANC ambushes”.
The buses were taking supporters to a DA “We Can Win” concert at Walter Sisulu Square, in Kliptown, Soweto. The ANC was holding a rally at the FNB Stadium in Nasrec, about 15km away.
ANC provincial chairman Marius Fransman condemned the Crossroads violence….
