The altercation, according to Rulashe, took place moments after a heated strategic planning meeting at the municipality offices. “The images coming out of the video we have seen of the incident are a cause for serious concern.

“We are still fighting the scourge of GBVF in our country and to witness such abhorrent acts, particularly in a government building is unbelievable. On November 29 2021, SA signed the International Labour Organisation Convention 190 which deals with violence and harassment in the world of work.
