George Deputy Mayor’s Da Disciplinary Process Concludes

Dear Editor

A DA internal disciplinary process, following due process and the rule of law, has concluded in the matter of Councillor Raybin Figland, Deputy Mayor of George.

The DA took the allegations in this matter extremely seriously. The DA Federal Legal Commission conducted a detailed and thorough investigation, over six months, under the leadership of an experienced attorney, to establish any verifiable evidence to substantiate the allegations.

Despite repeated efforts, the key witness in the case refused to testify, and without her evidence it was impossible for the panel to convict Cllr Figland in the matter. It was, however, factually established that the young woman involved was over the age of 18 at the time the alleged incident occurred, ruling out allegations of criminal liability.

Regards

Willie Aucamp MP
DA National Spokesperson
