“I have been living in fear for some months.”

This is what senior Amathole district municipality ANC councillor Nanziwe Rulashe said  two days before her home was sprayed with bullets during the early hours on Sunday.

Rulashe, 40, made headlines last week when a video of her being assaulted and dragged from her office by armed security personnel went viral.

She told the Dispatch in an interview on Friday that she experienced a string of attempted break-ins at her home since late last year.

Rulashe’s fears were realised on Sunday when an unknown gunman opened fire on her home in East London.
