ANC covering up for Modise
8 July 2014
The ANC today released a statement regarding NCOP Chairperson Thandi Modise's farm in North West in an attempt to deflect attention from the fact that she treated her animals with criminal cruelty.
Modise allowed her animals to die of hunger and thirst, subjecting them to unnecessary suffering and driving the surviving animals to cannibalism.
This is a clear contravention of the Animal Protection Act. Modise should face the consequences for breaking the law, just like any other person.
The assertion that the DA is somehow undermining land reform for holding Modise to account for breaking the law is ridiculous. She should be investigated by the relevant authorities and the law should run its course.
