ANC Western Cape lays charges of perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury, defamation and defeating the ends of justice against Dan Plato

The ANC Western Cape will today open a docket for criminal investigation into DA MEC, Dan Plato and his dubious sources.
Plato is subject to the Executive Members Ethics Act no 82 of 1998 which, in terms of s2 (b) (v), requires him not to act in a way that may compromise the credibility or integrity of his office or of the Government.
Also, in terms of s2(b) (iv) of the Executive Members Ethics Act no 82 of 1998, Plato is prohibited, as MEC, from using his position or any information entrusted to him to improperly benefit any other person or a political party.
Plato orchestrated and co-operated with the office of a private NGO, Projects Abroad Human Rights in the drafting of an affidavit by a certain Pierre Mark Anthony Wyngaardt (Wyngaardt).
