Tony Leon to lay charges over an election pamphlet
Democratic Alliance leader Tony Leon will lay charges of crimen injuria on Monday. He is asking Cape Town police to investigate defamatory pamphlets about him and his wife that have been distributed in Tafelsig in Mitchell’s Plain ahead of Wednesday's crucial by-election. The DA says the pamphlet, purporting to be the product of the Africa Muslim Party, is a racist defamation of Leon and his wife Michal. The AMP has denied any involvement. Criminal charges will also be laid because the pamphlet is a violation of the Electoral Act. A DA win in the ward 82 by-election will double its slender majority in the city council.
