The Moodey saga
3 September 2020
Note: Following the press conference held by the DA earlier today, please see my statement below.
For once, I am in agreement with the now former Gauteng DA Provincial Leader, John Moodey, in his explanation for his resignation from the party yesterday, being, inter alia, as a result of the fact that “he is facing charges for standing up against a senior Parliamentary Leader in a Sex for Jobs scandal.”
Moodey’s resignation from the Democratic Alliance, has raised a number of questions in the public, wild untested one sided accusations in the media, half-truths and dangerous speculation. Let me lay bare the facts.
Being a victim of the alleged conduct which resulted in Moodey facing serious charges by the party’s Federal Legal Commission (FLC), I believe the onus is on me to provide clarity, and that, as a result of his resignation, I can no longer rely on the internal processes of the party to defend my honour.
