CAPE TOWN – A woman who was assaulted during this week’s protests at Brackenfell High School said she would not rest until justice was served.

Sibongile Nkasayi (22) was part of a group of supporters of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) who demonstrated during a private tuition party attended by some white students, parents and teachers.

Amid clashes near the school on Monday, Nkasayi was hit in the back with a baseball bat.

“I want them to arrest him and pay for what he did to me, the humiliation he did to me.”

Nkasayi said she was still consulting a doctor after a man assaulted her during demonstrations on Monday.

He said he joined the protest in support of calls for the eradication of alleged racism at school.

The demonstration turned violent after some community members, parents and supporters came out to intimidate and confront EFF supporters.

The school’s governing body said 42 of the 254 seniors attended the private enrollment party.

He further stated that the school was inclusive and integrated, and promoted non-racism and reconciliation.

The case against the 38-year-old Brackenfell man, arrested for firing an air rifle during the demonstration, was postponed until January.
