GOOD party received a formal complaint of sexual misconduct against De Villiers back in January, and was since suspended. A formal hearing was held.

‘’GOOD’s National Management Committee (NMC) has terminated Peter De Villiers membership of the party and removed him as a Member of the Western Cape Provincial Legislature. The NMC decision was based on the outcome of a party disciplinary process which found De Villiers guilty of breaching the GOOD Constitution and Code of Conduct,’’ said Matthew Cook, GOOD National Chairperson.

‘’GOOD is a women-led party, with a Constitution containing a set of values to which all members subscribe and account, irrespective of their positions. The GOOD Constitution deals comprehensively and unequivocally with gender rights and sexual misconduct. The party is proud of its record of advocacy for the equal rights of women and girls, and against the plague of gender-based violence in South Africa,’’ he added.

GOOD Deputy Secretary-General, Suzette Little, was sworn in by the Speaker of the Western Cape Provincial Legislature, until the upcoming elections.
