WATCH: This is the moment rowdy ANC supporters stormed the venue where the eThekwini municipality council is sitting. Notable, there was NO attempt by the SAPS, Durban metro police & security to block them. Councillors, fearing for their lives, had to run helther-skelther. @IOL pic.twitter.com/jXCx0GbmXJ
