News24 reports four more Western Cape Government officials have been suspended in the wake of the sexual assault scandal involving former Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz.
The four senior officials were all working in Fritz's ministry and have all been accused of procuring and grooming the women for Fritz. Sources have told News24 that David Abrahams, head of Fritz's ministry, is among the officials who were suspended. Western Cape Premier Alan Winde on Monday announced that Cultural Affairs and Sport MEC Anroux Marais would be acting as Community Safety MEC following the suspension of incumbent Albert Fritz. Marais' appointment as acting Community Safety MEC comes after Fritz asked his party bosses to allow him to step aside amid the sexual assault allegations, nine months into his tenure as the DA's leader in the Western Cape. Fritz took over as the DA's interim leader in the Western Cape after the resignation of Bonginkosi Madikizela last year. Madikizela resigned after it was revealed that he falsely claimed on his CV that he had a BCom degree.
