Eff In Nc Chastises Mayoral Member For Alleged Gbv

The Economic Freedom Fighters EFF in the Northern Cape has chastised their member and Mayor of Thembelihle Municipality following his arrest on allegations related to gender-based violence.

Mayor Marnus Visser is currently in police custody and is expected to appear in court in De Aar in the coming days.

The EFFs Leonard Makenna, It has come to our attention that despite holding a position of power and responsibility, the Mayor of Thembelihle Local Municipality has engaged in actions that are not only inexcusable, but also deeply troubling. As a representative of the Economic Freedom Fighters, we place strong emphasis on accountability and integrity in all aspects of governance. Its with a heavy heart that we must condemn the actions of the Mayor in the strongest possible terms, because gender-based violence is an issue of great importance. No individual regardless of status or position should be above the law and be immune from facing the consequences of their actions.
