The EFF has laid charges against Brackenfell residents following a violent clash outside of Brackenfell High School on Monday.
The party had been protesting against alleged racism at the school.
Provincial EFF chairperson Melikhaya Xego accompanied a group of members to lay charges against those who attacked them during the demonstration.
“After our members were attended to by healthcare professionals, we visited Brackenfell Police Station and laid charges against the people who attacked and assaulted us on Monday.
“We will now let the law take its course,” said Xego.
Sibongile Nkasayi wants the man who beat her with a baseball bat to face justice.
Speaking to Power987, she described the attack, which was captured on video.
“There was a guy next to me who told me, ‘You see, I told you I am going to get you’. That’s when the guy hit me with a baseball bat,” she said.
She said she recognised the man who spoke to her at last Friday’s protest.
She continued: “The one who was beating told me that I must f*k*f. I told him, ‘don’t touch me’. As he was pushing me, he hit me three times.
“I heard a voice saying ‘you can’t beat her, the media is here, she’s a woman’. He replied, ‘she is nothing to me, she is k**’.
A Brackenfell man who allegedly fired gunshots in the midst of the brawl appeared in the Kuils River Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
The case against Jaco Pretorius, 39, was postponed to 25 January and he was released on a warning.
