Independant Democrats Councillor Brett Herron has welcomed yesterday’s sacking of DA Councillor Charlotte Tabisher.
Tabisher was found guilty on eight counts of misconduct including the acceptance of money from locals for state sub-subsidised houses and fraud.
Herron says they are pleased that Local Government MEC Anton Bredell acted swiftly to remove Councillor Tabisher from office.
"It is vitally important that we send a clear message that corrupt public representatives will be removed from office without hesitation. Voters are tired of politicians promising to clamp down on corruption, but then failing to act accordingly," said Herron.
He added that with the severe shortage of housing in Cape Town there is already much scepticism and suspicion with regards to the housing allocation process.
