Taking to Twitter, Gardee condemned the incident and said citizens should shun those who humiliate women.

“You do not need to be a victim of gender-based violence to appreciate that women abuse is not a tool of war or opposition politics and protest. Currently there is a war on women’s bodies,” he said.

While many agree with the politician, others believe that the ANC brought the mistreatment of members upon itself.

TimesLIVE reported that one person said removing the wigs of ANC women should be normalised.

“Inhuman indeed but I guess politicians are responsible for this mayhem. People are very angry and desperate on the ground. The moment they learn the truth will be the time Africa stands. It’s not ANC but all political parties, corruption and favouritism prevails in all of them.”
