DA George caucus passes motion of no confidence against corruption-accused mayor
28 January 2020
The DA's caucus in George has passed a motion of no confidence in its mayor, Melvin Naik.
Last week the party announced that it intends to suspend Naik after a forensic report highlighted two serious findings against him.
The forensic investigation into allegations of fraud, corruption, maladministration and serious malpractice in the George Municipality was conducted at the instruction of Western Cape Local Government MEC Anton Bredell.
DA constituency head for George Geordin Hill-Lewis said in a statement the caucus passed the motion against Naik on Monday.
