Man tries to smash ANC HQ doors

Aug 24, 2012 | Sapa | 42 comments

A man who tried to smash the glass doors of the ANC's Johannesburg headquarters, was angry because he did not have a job, a party official said.

"He was looking for a job but did not have a matric," African National Congress spokesman Keith Khoza said.

"He said he came to [Luthuli House] because the ANC was in government."

Khoza said the man hit the Luthuli House glass doors with a piece of wood on Thursday.

The man was not an ANC member.

Gauteng police spokesman Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini said Luthuli House security guards caught the man and then handed him over to the police.

He said he could not confirm that the man was upset with the ANC because he did not have a job.

"The motive will be heard when he appears in court," he said.

The man was expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Friday.

Mothubannyo: No. But it might be nice if there were a working education system to help him improve himself, or to allow his kids an opportunity.

Sowetan le ngola masepa.
The heading says "he was angry because he did not have a job, a party official said" then you say Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini said "he could not confirm that the man was upset with the ANC because he did not have a job".
At the first place how could he go to lethuli if he's not one of your party members that Anc official is a liar,who knows may be one of them took the man's wife?
