The City Press report “Fransman faces the axe”
Sunday, 10 July 2016, at 14h00
It is with emphatic appal that I have learned today from the media some of the content of the apparent findings of the ANC’s Integrity Committee in the matter of an unsubstantiated “sexual harassment” complaint against me, without having received any notification whatsoever from the committee myself.
Such outrageous breach of ANC protocol and principle clearly brings the ANC into disrepute and seriously tarnishes the image of the ANC.
I didn't expect this from an internal structure of the organization that is supposed to uphold the organizational protocols.
Regrettably reliant solely on media reports, the apparent finding that my accuser’s “evidence is of a cogent nature and more likely to be true than not” speaks directly to the merit of the matter, in flagrant disregard of the integrity committee's clarion initial and continuing stance that merit be “a matter for the courts to decide.”
