DA to report MEC Maile to the Integrity Commissioner for hate speech against the Jewish community
1 October 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature has reported the Gauteng MEC for Human Settlements and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Lebogang Maile to the Integrity Commissioner for hate speech directed at the Jewish Community.
This follows a Twitter conservation when one Twitter user praised the Joburg Mayor, Herman Mashaba for transforming the Inner City.
In response to this Tweet, MEC Maile wrote, “He’s actually giving the buildings to Jews. Ask him who are the new owners of these buildings?”
The MEC refused to apologise for his utterances claiming that he did nothing wrong and that he stated a fact.
