The Premier of the Western Cape, Ebrahim Rasool believes that it is time to bring to a close the unseemly exchanges through the media around Democratic Alliance leader, Helen Zille’s involvement with the Anti-Drugs and Liquor Action Committee (PADLAC), in Mitchells Plain.
“I have therefore discussed with Community Safety MEC, Leonard Ramatlakane and Police Commissioner Mzwandile Petros that it’s better that no one responds through the media to the actions and utterances of the DA leader, Helen Zille,” says Rasool.
Rasool explains that the ego of one personality should not overshadow the genuine fight against drugs, gangs and crime by thousands in our communities, the South African Police services and in the public service.
“MEC Ramatlakane and Commissioner Petros have agreed that, in disengaging from a media discourse with the DA leader, we should allow the matters in dispute to be resolved through the normal workings of the criminal justice system,” says Rasool.
Rasool adds that any other matters relating to the activities of the DA leader where there is any suspension of the infraction of the law, will be dealt with appropriately and not as a matter of public mudslinging.
