Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) deputy president Floyd
Shivambu was caught on camera harassing a journalist on Tuesday.
The incident took place outside Parliament in Cape Town as
Adrian de Kock‚ from Media 24‚ was waiting with other journalists outside the
building where Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille's disciplinary hearing is
taking place.
De Kock saw Shivambu‚ asked if he wanted to comment about
the hearing and took pictures of the politician.
Shivambu then insisted that De Kock delete the images
because he had not given consent for them to be taken.
He held De Kock by the neck and tried to grab the camera‚
and two unknown men also approached the journalist.
“Leave my stuff alone. Leave my stuff alone‚” the
journalist is heard screaming as he was being manhandled.
Shivambu then walked away while one of the men continued to
attack De Kock. “Floyd grabbed my throat saying‚ ‘You don’t have permission’‚”
said the visibly shaken journalist.
He later told TimesLIVE he would lay assault charges with
police.
