WATCH | Furious man in pink T-shirt confronts Trollip

Minutes after a group of Walmer Township residents clad in ANC T-shirts vowed they would not let a Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality public meeting proceed‚ one resident nearly came to blows with mayor Athol Trollip.

The meeting at the Walmer Multi-Purpose Centre descended into complete chaos on Tuesday night when Trollip‚ along with some municipal officials‚ tried to push ahead with the programme.

One resident – a man in a pink T-shirt who is alleged to be an ANC branch chairman – went straight for Trollip after a short standoff between the residents and the group representing the municipality.

The meeting is one in a series intended for the city to outline the draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and also present the draft budget for the 2018-19 financial year.

The drama unfolded when a group in ANC T-shirts started picking up chairs and tossing over tables while singing offensive songs.

Later‚ a standoff ensued with Trollip trying to talk to the group‚ who were not having any of it and instead singing offensive songs loosely translated as “F*** off Trollip‚ you are full of s***.”
