Bitou Municipality Deputy mayor and Ikhwezi Political Party Movement leader, Nokuzola Kolwapi.
A new video of the Deputy Mayor of the Bitou Municipality in Plettenberg Bay allegedly firing a gun, shows her handing the weapon to her bodyguard afterwards. The initial video showed Councillor Nokuzola Kolwapi shooting into the air to celebrate her son’s homecoming ceremony in KwaNokuthula this weekend following his initiation.
In a statement, Kolwapi said no firearm was present and that it was a toy gun.
Bitou Municipality’s Spokesperson, Andile Namntu, has confirmed that the man seen in the video, is from law enforcement, who is also Kolwapi’s protector and driver.
Several videos were posted online by the public who witnessed the event.
The new video shows the law enforcement official taking the gun from Kolwapi after she fired it.
Two members of the public have filed charges against her for pointing a firearm in public, and the discharging of a firearm in a municipal area.
The municipality says this new development will form part of their detailed investigation which is currently underway.
