The home of senior ANC Amathole district municipality councillor and mayoral committee member Nanziwe Rulashe, who made headlines last week when a video emerged of her being dragged through her office floor, was shot at in the early hours of Sunday morning.
She told 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. Fortunately she was not home when shots were fired through her bedroom sliding door.
Her relatives, who were home and sleeping in other rooms, escaped injury.
Provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Nomthetheleli Mene has ordered the establishment of a task team to investigate an attempted murder case after Sunday’s shooting, said police spokesperson Brig Tembinkosi Kinana.
