Democratic Alliance Councillor in the City of Cape Town Charlotte Tabisher will officially vacate her office today.
The councillor from Athlone was axed yesterday by Local government MEC Anton Bredell following allegations that she accepted cash for housing.
Bredell says he agreed with the city council’s findings that Tabisher has contravened the code of conduct by helping a member of the public draw up fraudulent housing documents.
She was also fined 10-thousand-Rand
Bredell expressed that he wants to see effective local government in the province.
“We, as a province are not doing our best to spread the ‘gospel’ of good local government. Councillors and public officials are elected to serve the people, and not their pockets,” Bredell said.
