DA's corruptive actions must be investigated
Corruptive actions by the DA in the Western Cape provincial government must be investigated immediately to assess what support and funding is given to DA electioneering structures in the Western Cape.
ANC Western Cape leader Marius Fransman on the eve of national Workers' Day tomorrow says the DA must come clean on abusing taxpayer money and civil servants to court DA support through a setup front to lobby farmworkers.
This is part of the DA's new so-called "farmworker plan". Unsuccessful DA candidates in the last election are now paraded as so-called "independent farmworkers". Instead they are DA members with a political agenda.
The ANC also challenges the DA to put its money where its mouth is and give real support to farm workers, instead of running a campaign to con the public. Government support and funding is given to DA party hacks to oppose farmworkers and organic farmworker unions under the guise of a so-called independent forum for farmworkers. The DA thinks it can deceive and trick the public and all farmworkers alike.
The truth is: This DA's paraded and self-appointed chair of its bogus forum is Rita Andreas, which is also hailed as a former Western Cape Farmworker of the Year (2009). In the last general municipal elections (2011) she lost in Drakenstein Ward 31 consisting of a majority of farm labourers to the ANC's Jerome McHelm. Andreas was recently also given a platform to speak at the Bien Donné Agri Cape show week to promote the DA-run forum, which is held on a government experimental farm, supported by government agencies and is government sponsored!
