Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The EFF councillor in the Matatiele local municipality, Fundiswa Nyamakazi, on Wednesday made a brief appearance in the town’s magistrate’s court for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting her married son’s alleged secret girlfriend after a night vigil on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The case was postponed to 29 September and Nyamakazi is currently out on a warning.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old Nyamakazi allegedly charged the woman outside the event around 03:00. She apparently kicked the victim while she was urinating next to a parked car.<\/p>\n

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the victim’s boyfriend, who is Nyamakazi’s son, was inside the parked car.<\/p>\n

The incident allegedly happened at Harry Gwala Location in Area C, where Nyamakazi is a councillor and a branch chairperson of the EFF.<\/p>\n

A source close to the investigation said Nyamakazi allegedly got angry when she saw the victim with her son.<\/p>\n

Nyamakazi then confronted her for dating her married son.<\/p>\n

NPA spokesperson Luxolo Tyali said Nyamakazi allegedly drove the victim to a different location, where she assaulted the woman repeatedly.<\/p>\n

The victim managed to free herself and fled.<\/p>\n

A source told News24 that Nyamakazi used a sjambok on the victim. It is not clear where her son was during the assault.<\/p>\n

The night vigil was for a suspected thug, who was murdered by angry community members during an operation targeting criminals, the source said.<\/p>\n

Eastern Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Thembinkosi Kinana said: “She [the victim] allegedly got out of a vehicle to relieve herself, and that was when she felt someone kicking her on the back. The circumstances surrounding the incident form part of the investigation.”<\/p>\n

Tyali said the victim reported Nyamakazi to the police on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Nyamakazi told News24 on Wednesday the charges were “trumped up” by her political detractors as part of a smear campaign against her.<\/p>\n

Nyamakazi said she knew nothing about the assault on the girl.<\/p>\n

“I left the night vigil at 01:00 and went to bed at 01:30. I know nothing. I am very innocent. The court case has been moved to 29 September because there is no doctor’s medical record on the docket. I can’t wait to have my say in court, so I can clear my name,” said Nyamakazi.<\/p>\n

She added that she discovered the girl she is accused of assaulting was a cousin of an EFF member she defeated as branch chairperson during a general branch meeting on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“I have since uncovered that the group defeated by my group is behind all of this,” said Nyamakazi.<\/p>\n

Nyamakazi was a principal for more than 20 years at Bokamoso Senior Primary School before resigning after winning the Ward 20 council post at the 1 November local government elections.<\/p>\n

When contacted for a comment, the chairperson of the EFF Eastern Cape, Yazini Tetyana, said he was unaware of the charges against Nyamakazi.<\/p>\n

“I cannot comment on this without speaking to her. No one reported this to me,” said Tetyana.<\/p>\n
