ANCYL LEADER’S CAR BOMBED

OUTSPOKEN Mpumalanga African National Congress youth league secretary James Nkambule is being treated for burn wounds after attackers petrol-bombed his car and front yard early on Thursday morning. The unknown attackers reportedly hurled two petrol bombs at Nkambule’s brand new car outside his Barberton house just after 3am. Nkambule sustained slight burn injuries when he slipped and fell into the fire after rushing out to investigate the sound of explosions.
