ANC in Oudtshoorn must get their house in order
The disorderly ANC meeting in Oudtshoorn this week where municipal property was vandalised and Marius Fransman was attacked by a mob, is a further sign of a growing culture of violence and power hunger in the Western Cape ANC.
The ANC here is characterized by internal leadership struggles, a lack of strategy and discipline and a disregard for public property and efficient service delivery.
In the Western Cape Marius Fransman's name has become synonymous with conflict, incitement and mischief. He clumsily staggers from one political fiasco to the next.
Recent examples include inflammatory speeches on farms, the abuse of the memorial service of rape- and murder victim, Anene Booysen, and insulting remark towards the Jewish community of the Western Cape.
The DA is concerned about the culture of violence associated with the ANC's actions in this province. It is no surprise that this culture has turned against mr. Fransman himself.
