The African National Congress in the Western Cape has called for a full investigation into the financial affairs of the Democratic Alliance-run City of Cape Town.

This comes after a national treasury report found that the DA is dishing out free services to households that do not qualify in order to accumulate more votes. 

The DA’s R3.3 billion votes buying scandal was exposed in a report tabled by treasury to the mayor and her advisers on Tuesday.

Treasury revealed R1.9 billion is spent on free service to people who do not qualify for it.

Western Cape ANC’s Cobus Grobler said, “The ANC has found many instances of the DA abusing state resources to secure votes in areas like housing, construction, extended public works projects, favours to gangsters and even in development as well as the DA’s notorious use of food parcels to sway poor voters.”

The ANC will use its councilors to question this scandal Grobler concluded
