Mduduzi Manana owns up to ‘shameful incident’ after being identified in video
Deputy Higher Education and Training Minister Mduduzi Manana says he will subject himself to the law, after being identified in a video assaulting a woman at a Cubana restaurant in Fourways, at the weekend. Offering his regrets to the nation‚ he said in a statement on Monday: "That shameful incident should not have happened. "I know that my actions and those of the people in my company have disappointed and hurt many people in the country. As a leader‚ I should have known better and acted better. I will subject myself fully to the process of the law and give it my full co-operation‚" Manana said. The incident happened at about 3am on Sunday, after the restaurant at Cedar Square in Fourways had closed. Manana is accused of lashing out after a debate on who should succeed President Jacob Zuma at the ANC’s elective conference in December.
