Belinda Scott, an ANC member of the provincial legislature in KwaZulu-Natal, has become the latest victim of armed robberies that have also hit other high-profile people in the province.
Guests, including visitors from Canada, were robbed during Scott's wedding on Saturday.
The groom and his family from Canada were accosted and robbed during the wedding ceremony at Scott's house in Pinetown's Kloof suburb.
As the ANC we believe that no citizen should have to undergo such a harrowing experience. We call for police to act speedily in apprehending the perpetrators who robbed and attacked Scott," spokesperson Nonfundo Mcetywa said on Wednesday.
The five men entered Scott's home during her wedding reception and held guests at gunpoint. They demanded cash, cellphones, jewellery and handbags. The robbers ransacked the house and took a hi-fi system, two TV sets and other electrical appliances during the incident.
"We have appointed a provincial task team because this is a very high-profile case," he said.
The armed robbers also stole wedding gifts and a car that had been hired for the wedding. The men drove away in a Volvo Coupe and VW Polo Playa they found at Scott's house.
