DA supports City's action against EFF to pay for Brackenfell damages
24 November 2020
The DA wholeheartedly supports the intent of the City of Cape Town of recovering the cost of damages to municipal property during the EFF protest in Brackenfell last week, through civil action.
It is high time that the EFF understands that their actions have consequences and that, where the DA governs, they will be held accountable for their violent behaviour.
The EFF had no business in Brackenfell on Friday. Their protest against "racism" was nothing more than a vile act of political opportunism.
While we commend the efforts of SAPS, the Metro Police and other law enforcement agencies to control the situation and limit the violence and damage to property, the EFF failed to meet the City's conditions for this protest.
