On a surprise visit to the Blikkiesdorp transition camp in Delft, Mayor Dan Plato was smacked, cursed, sworn at and branded a liar by long-suffering, angry residents.
This after Plato angered them by dismissing their complaints of inhuman conditions by claiming it was "amongst the best" settlements.
He denounced some residents for "unfaithfulness and ungratefulness".
Attempting to enter a row of corrugated steel huts, Plato was stopped by a group of women who barricaded the entrance.
In an angry confrontation Plato was smacked by an incensed woman as his bodyguards intervened to get her off him.
The tussel lasted for a short while. Plato looked shocked and hurt but did not retaliate.
