ANC denies exploiting Hermanus protests
29 March 2018
The ANC has slammed the Democratic Alliance's (DA) Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela for accusing the party of exploiting the recent protests in Hermanus.
Madikizela's accusations come after an image of a WhatsApp conversation between ANC member of provincial parliament Cameron Dugmore and provincial party secretary Faiez Jacobs, was circulated.
The message read: "this is a campaign we must lead and drive in terms of our policies… we must also look at well-located private land and consider…”
Madikizela suggested that the message was proof that the ANC was exploiting a serious situation for political gain.
