The ANC has been facing community backlash in Cape Town as party leaders visit various areas ahead of the January 8 Statement this weekend.
Several visits have been met with resistance from residents.
In a viral video, Deputy President Paul Mashatile is seen being chased out of a house in Khayelitsha while conducting door-to-door visits.
On the same day, a frustrated SASSA beneficiary walked out on Minister Sisisi Tolashe in Lwandle during an engagement with elderly people.
The resident expected the minister to address SASSA-related issues but she barely touched on them.
Speaking to Heart FM News, the ANC’s Alvin Botes says the Khayelitsha incident was a misunderstanding and that the party has since reached out to the family.
