A disturbing incident has caused shock and anger after a South African Member of Parliament and his family were attacked while traveling on Saturday.
According to a report published by TimesNews, the MP was on a trip with his wife and children when their vehicle was stopped on the road by unknown individuals.
The report states that the attackers blocked the road, forcing the family’s car to stop. The MP, his wife, and their children were ordered out of the vehicle and left helpless. The situation quickly turned violent, leaving the family in fear and distress.
According to TimesNews, the MP’s hands and legs were tied with a rope, and his mouth was sealed with strong tape, making it impossible for him to speak or defend himself.
As this happened, the children were seen crying and screaming in fear. In front of them, the attackers allegedly forcefully undressed their mother, an act that left the entire family deeply traumatized.
After the incident, the attackers reportedly fled the scene without stealing valuables. The publication claims the attack may have been intended to shame and intimidate the MP, who is known as a critic of the government.
Police have since confirmed that investigations are ongoing. Officers say they are working to identify those involved and bring them to justice. The incident has triggered public outrage, with many citizens condemning the attack and demanding strong action.
The shocking event has once again raised serious concerns about the safety of public leaders and their families while traveling on public roads.
