DE LILLE VS DA: The Western Cape government and Old Mutual respond to De Lille fraud claims in George municipality By Suné Payne SunePayne
Patricia de Lille has handed over a dossier to the Public Protector alleging “VBS-style” corruption in the DA-led George Municipality. However, the ministry of local government in the Western Cape has said de Lille’s claim is “devoid of facts”.
The Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning in the Western Cape, Anton Bredell has noted comments made by the leader of an opposition party in the province, Ms Patricia De Lille, pertaining to the George Municipality.The Western Cape Government prides itself on taking strong action against any allegations of corruption and acting on wrongdoing without fear or favour.
If Ms De Lille cared anything for the rule of law, or at the very least cared for the truth, she would have contacted me or the municipality in question to determine the facts first.The Provincial Government is in fact fully aware of the allegations pertaining to a possible investment scheme at the George Municipality.
Further to the above, the Provincial Government is also aware that the Special Investigating Unit might explore the possibility of a Proclamation into the matter, should there be sufficient cause to do so.
