The African National Congress (ANC) is visiting community members in Khayelitsha, but not everyone is thrilled by the party’s presence.
One man was furious that the politicians were inside his mother’s home and demanded that they and the media leave.
High-ranking ANC members, which included Deputy President Paul Mashatile, were inside the home at the time of the incident.

The party officially turns 113 on 8 January but will celebrate the occasion at Khayelitsha’s Mandela Park Stadium on Saturday, 11 January.
They have been using the build-up to the celebrations to campaign in the Western Cape, the only province they don’t control.
While speaking to one resident, drama ensued when the resident's son stormed into the lounge and demanded that everyone leave.
The man was upset after he claimed the security team denied him access to the home. A scuffle ensued as security detail members attempted to protect the Deputy President and remove the man from the lounge area.
The angry man, who had a child in his arms, continued demanding that everyone leave, saying he didn’t want to hear anything.
“You cannot tell me that I can’t enter my own home,” he can be heard shouting.
The party has seen a decline in support, but President Cyril Ramaphosa does not believe that the party's poor electoral performance is a sign that the party is dying.
South Africans full of praise for resident
Social media users were full of praise for the man, commending him for not taking nonsense.
