ANC Eastern Cape heavyweight, Andile Lungisa, was found guilty in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court on Tuesday of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Lungisa, who pleaded not guilty, was accused of smashing a glass jug over the head of former member of the mayoral committee Rano Kayser, during a Nelson Mandela Bay council meeting in October 2016.
Among the evidence presented by prosecutor Wayne Ludick, was a video DA councillor Renaldo Gouws had taken, which showed how Lungisa slammed the jug over Kayser's head, before he fled and how Kayser fell backwards and landed on the floor.
Kayser sustained multiple lacerations to his head and neck, including a deep gash to his left temple which required stitches.

ANC Eastern Cape heavyweight Andile Lungisa found guilty of assault
Now for sentencing? Leave for appeal?
The Port Elizabeth Magistrates’ Court has found the ANC’s Andile Lungisa guilty of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Presiding Magistrate Morne Cannon ruled on Tuesday that Lungisa had intentionally smashed a glass jug over the head of then mayoral committee member for transport, Rano Kayser, with the intent of causing him harm during a council meeting.
Passing judgment, Cannon said that Lungisa was vague, evasive and contradicted himself during the trial. He also went on to say that Lungisa was a poor witness who “tailored his version as the trial proceeded”.
Lungisa’s defence attorney, Luthando Ngqakayi, conceded that there were inconsistences picked up in his client’s testimony but said he disagreed with the magistrate’s analysis of the matter.

DA should move to expel him from being a councillor.
A council can vote to expel any member for conduct unbecoming. A criminal charge is sufficient grounds for such removal.He's not a DA member.
Yeah, they'd be daft not to.A council can vote to expel any member for conduct unbecoming. A criminal charge is sufficient grounds for such removal.
ANC Eastern Cape heavyweight Andile Lungisa has been sentenced to three years in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court for the assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Lungisa, who pleaded not guilty in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court, was accused of smashing a glass jug over the head of former member of the mayoral committee Rano Kayser, during a Nelson Mandela Bay council meeting in October 2016.
Magistrate Morne Cannon said Lungisa had shown no remorse for his actions and sentenced him to three years, with one year suspended for a period of five years. This means Lungisa will serve an effective two year jail term.
A video before court, taken by Democratic Alliance councillor Renaldo Gouws, had taken, showed how Lungisa slammed the jug over Kayser's head, before he fled and how Kayser fell backward and landed on the floor.
Kayser sustained multiple lacerations to his head and neck, including a deep gash to his left temple which required stitches.
