The Democratic Alliance says it has took its rightful place in the Oudtshoorn council, as the Majority, and unseated the African National Congress Mayor and Deputy Mayor who have clung onto power unlawfully.

In a Council meeting, a motion of no confidence in ANC Mayor Gordon April and his Deputy Vlancio Donson, was passed by a majority.

The DA said, the people of Oudtshoorn have suffered for far too long under poor ANC governance, wasteful expenditure and corruption.

DA Western Cape Communications Manager, Liza Albrecht said, the DA also indicated that Council will request the provincial and national government to place Oudtshoorn under administration, a lot of damage has been caused over the past 2 years by the ANC led municipality.

“There is a lot of financial mismanagement that needs to be rectified, service delivery needs to be restored in Oudtshoorn and that is what the DA will do” Albrecht added.
