The African National Congress (ANC) on Monday condemned civil organization Umsinsi Wokuzimilela for protesting outside the home of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube.
Over the weekend a small group of people from the organization marched to the home of Dube-Ncube in Hillcrest, west of Durban.
In videos that have since gone viral, the organization wants to engage her on issues affecting poor communities in KZN.
President Cyril Ramaphosa joined the chorus of ANC leaders condemning the alleged intimidation of Dube-Ncube by the civil society group Umsinsi Wokuzimilela.
In a statement from The Presidency, Ramaphosa said that there are avenues available for people to air their grievances at elected officials without endangering them at their own homes.
The KZN provincial government said it will be launching an investigation into the incident.
Attempts by the publication to get comments from Umsinsi Wokuzimilele were successful.
The organization is no stranger to controversy. In 2022, they led a group of flood victims to illegally occupy a hostel belonging to Transnet.
