Ramaphosa supporters attack ‘hands off Zuma’ march
Members of the Black First Land First sitting in the back of a pick up truck, are attacked by ANC members as they protest outside the ANC headquarters in downtown Johannesburg

SUPPORTERS of South African Vice-President Cyril Ramaphosa beat women demanding “hands off” President Jacob Zuma today.

Several men in black T-shirts bearing the “#Siyavuma” (We agree) slogan of Mr Ramaphosa’s successful campaign for the ANC presidency last year attacked supporters of the Black Land First (BLF) march to the Albert Luthuli House ANC headquarters in Johannesburg.

Footage of the incident on the South African Times website showed men pulling terrified women from a pick-up truck, one man beating them with a stick and another kicking a woman as she lay in the road.
