Suspended KwaZulu-Natal Athletics President Steve Mkasi has set the record straight following a viral video showing him tussling with another man.
This week, IOL reported that the incident was caught on camera, showing Msaki and the man fighting on the street. In the clip, the men can be seen grappling each other to the ground.
According to reports, the man in the altercation is Ama Ravens Athletics Club member, Sphephelo Ndlovu.
Speaking to IOL, Mkasi said the clip had been misinterpreted, and people who were not present did not have the full context.
"I assume you saw the video, in fact all of us saw the video. I can explain what happened there, since it’s clear others who were not there aren’t able to. I can’t deny the argument I had with the man was tense. He left his car engine on in the middle of the road. I then went to it, switched it off, and took the keys with me. He then tripped me from behind. I fell on the ground, and he was searching for his car keys on me. He found it and then drove off. No fight, nothing. No one fought there," he said.
