The African National Congress in Victor Molosi Region notes with serious concern a video currently circulating on social media which allegedly depicts the Deputy Mayor of Bitou Municipality, Councillor Nokuzola “Noksi” Kolwapi, discharging a firearm during a Mgidi held for her sons.

The ANC views any alleged conduct involving the discharge of a firearm in a public or private setting with the utmost seriousness, particularly when it involves public representatives who are expected to uphold the law and act responsibly at all times.

In this regard, the ANC calls on relevant law enforcement agencies to urgently conduct a thorough and independent investigation into the authenticity of the video and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The law must take its course without fear or favour.

The ANC further reiterates its commitment to the rule of law, public safety, and responsible leadership.

Should the allegations be substantiated, appropriate action must be taken in line with the law and the organisation’s constitutional and disciplinary processes.

We urge all members of the public to remain calm and allow the authorities to conclude their investigations.
