    By now you’ve all seen the footage of the #ZumaMustFall poster being torn down, but what was it like to be inside the building whilst all this was going on?

    Residents of the apartment block have spoken to News24 about events on Saturday morning, with one woman saying she felt very fearful:

    Cleaner Charmaine Vos, 52, thought her son had returned home when she heard knocking at the door of her 4th floor apartment on Saturday.

    She peeked through the glass and saw men in yellow shirts. Polite knocking soon became loud banging.

    “I thought they were going to break the door down. I stood in the corner because I was scared,” she said on Wednesday.

    She heard people “making a racket” and saw a huge crowd of angry people standing outside the McDonalds on the ground floor.

    “When I looked over the balcony, I started shaking and trembling because I was in shock. Police stood around like puppets doing nothing.

    “Nothing like this has happened in the 22 years that I’ve been here.”

    Sibusiso Skotana, a resident of the apartment building for seven years, thought that both sides were at fault:

    He said it was the supporters’ prerogative to take the banner down and whoever had put it up “wanted to provoke”.

    But he did not condone violence.

    “I’m African and it’s a manner of disrespect calling out an elder [Zuma] but we are living in a modern world and everyone has their opinion and views.”

    He said he was proud the SA flag was there “after everything that had happened”.

    “We may not all be united but we should strive to be.”

    According to one resident the building is mostly made up of people from Zimbabwe, America, Switzerland and the Democratic Republic of Congo, making the massive SA flag seem a bit inappropriate to her.

    Let’s all just hope there’s no more drama emanating from this poster business, I think we’re all a little sick of talking about it.
