The DA says the ANC’s western Cape leader Marius Fransman should immediately be suspended amid a police investigation into chargers of alleged sexual assault against him.

The opposition party’s Liza Albrecht says if the ANC does not act against Fransman, it could seem as if the ruling party approved of the alleged wrongdoing.

“Apparently the charger were laid against him in north-west province last night, we feel that the desperate fight in South Africa against sexual and domestic abuse is really undermined when a party political leader faces criminal charges”  says Liza Albrecht.
