Updated | By Nushera Soodyal
KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala has instructed the MECs for Safety and Local Government to urgently investigate a scuffle between a father and two KwaDukuza municipal peace officers that has led to a public outcry.

It's understood the altercation - which was captured on video - occurred when the officers responded to a complaint about families that had been seen at the beach on Sunday morning.
The video shows one of the officers taking a young screaming child from a complex in Ballito - while the father tussles with them to try and get the child back.

"You'll be aware that the Premier has had a strong struggle against the abuse of women and children and vulnerable people in our society."
