An ANC Councillor was arrested for money laundering in Beaufort West, Western Cape, on Tuesday, 6 April, after he was allegedly caught running a loan-shark business.
DA calls on ANC to act decisively and not cover up the arrest
The Democratic Alliance’s (DA) Daylin Mitchell, the speaker of the provincial legislature and the party’s Constituency Head in Beaufort West, commented on the arrest on Wednesday, 5 April.
“South Africans have become used to the way in which the ANC deals with cases of criminality within their ranks. We will closely monitor this matter, and call on the ANC to act decisively and not sweep this under the rug,” said Mitchell.
Mitchell said the DA in the area would write to the provincial MEC for Community Safety and Police Oversight, Reagen Allen, to ask for a court-watching brief.
TimesLive reported that the ANC Councillor was arrested after organised crime cops allegedly caught him in possession of SASSA grant cards at an ATM.
