There is no agreement between the DA and the NPP in Oudtshoorn
3 July 2015
It is completely untrue that the DA entered into an agreement with the National People's Party (NPP) in Oudtshoorn. The assertion by the ANC’s Western Cape Provincial Secretary, Faiez Jacobs, that an ‘alliance’ was forged between the DA and the NPP and that the DA ‘bought’ the NPP leader, Budih Chaaban, is a blatant lie.
It also makes no sense. Why would the DA need to enter into an agreement or an alliance with the NPP in Oudtshoorn while we already have the outright majority in the Council?
The ANC know very well that the only reason why the DA could not take control of the Oudtshoorn Council (despite our majority) is because the ANC constantly undermines democratic processes in Oudtshoorn.
The ANC’s most recent allegations are nothing more than typical dirty politics.
