Manana lost his temper after an argument on who should succeed President Jacob Zuma at the party's elective conference in December.
Mandisa Duma, one of the three women who Manana assaulted opened a case of assault at the Douglasdale police station on August 6.
The other two women who were with Duma on the day of the incident also opened charges against Manana.
