According to reports, following an altercation in the VIP tent, both Ngizwe Mchunu and Sihle Zikalala filed assault charges against one another.
Following the encounter between Ngizwe Mchunu and Sihle Zikalala, a swarm of debates erupted all over Twitter.
Sihle Zikalala, according to Ngizwe Mchunu, lied on national television about their altercation the day before.
While there is no footage of the occurrence on the internet, one of the users claimed that one of the eyewitnesses said Premier Sihle Zikalala was a little tipsy at that moment.
What Happened Between Ngizwe Mchunu And Sihle Zikalala?
Ngizwe Mchunu has been charged with criminal injuria and assault by KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala. This came after an incident at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium during the Ingoma kazwelonke tournament.
Similarly, Mchunu allegedly worsened the situation on Saturday when he walked to the private area where the premier was seated and began “hurling insults,” according to Mabaso.
Colonel Athlenda Mathe, a police spokesman, said officers were looking into two crimes that had been reported to the Durban Central police station.
According to the SABC, Mchunu purported to be the first to file a criminal complaint against Zikalala for alleged assault at the Durban Central police station.
Assault Charges Against Ngizwe Mchunu And Sihle Zikalala
Both Ngizwe Mchunu and Sihle Zikalala have filed criminal charges against each other, as per the sources.
According to SABC, Mchunu said he was the first to file a criminal complaint against Zikalala for alleged assault at the Durban Central police station.
Mchunu had allegedly verbally abused Zikalala on several occasions recently, per Zikalala.
Per the SABC, Mchunu argued that statements made against Zikalala were part of political discourse. He further stated that when Zikalala attacked him first, he responded.
Further, Mchunu was also allegedly assaulted by a premier during an Ingoma music event. The actual event took place in the VIP tent.
Could Ngizwe Mchunu & Sihle Zikalala Get Arrested?
The arrests of Ngizwe Mchunu and Sihle Zikalala have not been reported in the internet media. The probe is still ongoing since both parties have filed charges against each other.
Furthermore, the Premier’s office informed the media that Muchunu entered the VIP area and began hurling obscenities at Zikalala.
Ngizwe Mchunu, on the other hand, has his own perspective. He told the reporters that he had opened an assault prosecution after being assaulted the day before, thus there are now two cases, as previously stated.
