Why does Zille weave a cloak of deception?
14 November 2015
Delusional DA premier of the Western Cape Helen Zille is all over again busy with a witch’s brew of untested allegations dished up as the truth in a government blog and official press releases. It is aimed at discrediting our police officers and feeding distrust to communities for cheap party political point scoring.
It is absolutely outrageous that it is the same DA that preaches to others to not politicise our police service that stoops to politicising the South African Police Service. It further taints the professional officers as agents of the ANC when they are in fact in the service of all and every community.
It is against this backdrop that the ANC today lays a criminal charge against Zille for employing a private covert intelligence investigator to execute illegal communications surveillance work on state land and property in terms of the Intelligence Services Act (65 of 2002) with taxpayer money to the amount of R115 800. This aspect now becomes a matter of police investigation.
ANC Western Cape secretary Faiez Jacobs says: “Zille is trying to pre-empt a court case that is still to be considered by putting up a smoke screen around her investigator that is already charged with amongst others fraud, perjury and contravening communications legislation (one Paul Scheepers is due in the Bellville Magistrate Court on Monday 16 November 2015 on CAS number 195/5/15). This anticipation is aimed at obstructing justice to prevent the truth to come out and to hide some facts behind an obfuscating veil of a usual dose of political conflation by DA spin, lies, smoke and mirrors.
