ANC Women’s League president Bathabile Dlamini told delegates at the opening of a drug treatment facility on Friday that if it wasn’t for the fact that ANC would discipline her for beating someone, she would’ve done it today .
Dlamini reacted after angry New Brighton community members insulted her, saying she was drunk from expensive whiskey. She burst into tears as the crowd hurled insults at her.
“I didn’t beat anyone because the ANC would’ve reprimanded me,” she said this afternoon.
Dlamini said the insults hurled at her this morning were proof that parents must instil discipline in their kids.
Community members halted the planned opening of the Ernest Malgas drug treatment centre in Port Elizabeth this morning, amid claims that people from the area were not employed to work there. Residents also closed Singapi Street and there is a strong police presence.
The opening of the R67-million drug treatment centre in Port Elizabeth’s Red Location was scheduled to take place today. The centre, to be named after Nelson Mandela Bay struggle hero Ernest Malgas, will cater for youngsters aged between 13 and 18 and will be the seventh substance abuse treatment facility in the city.
