The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) welcomes the Nexus forensic report’s findings on alleged irregularities, misconduct, corruption and tender fraud in the Swellendam Local Municipality.

Three years ago, the party’s councillor in Swellendam smelled a rat and initiated an investigation that led to the Vermaak report, which identified irregularities and individuals. That report was followed by a further probe that culminated in the Nexus report, which was tabled to the Council again today.

Although the Freedom Front Plus has reservations about certain shortcomings in the Nexus investigation, the positive outcomes are that the Municipality can now remedy flaws in its supply-chain management systems, terminate corrupt relationships and lodge complaints against the individuals named. The law will now take its course as the police, the Hawks and other statutory bodies conduct their investigations and criminal charges are instituted.

It appears, however, that investigators did not interview all implicated parties.

The Freedom Front Plus trusts that this will be rectified during the criminal investigations as witnesses and suspects are questioned and evidence emerges, and that criminal charges will be duly lodged.

Freedom Front Plus Women’s League: The party also has a women’s organization to promote female representation.

  1. Fun South African Fact: The waters surrounding the 2,500km long coastline are teeming with life. You’ll find great white sharks, African penguins, dolphins and much much more in South Africa’s oceans. Many travellers visit the coast to watch the annual whale migrations. In Hermanus, in the Western Cape, you can see hundreds of whales from June to late November. Simon’s Town, another coastal Western Cape town, is home to Boulder’s Beach. Here you can swim alongside colonies of African Penguins!
