Western Cape Premier, Helen Zille, says the Democratic Alliance (DA) is always prepared to act on alleged corruption in its own municipalities.

This comes after the Hawks conducted a search and seizure operation on Monday at the George municipal office, businesses, as well as at private homes of various individuals.

The local authority confirmed that electronic equipment and several documents were taken during the raid. This is part of a forensic investigation at George and the Bitou Municipality at Plettenberg Bay.

The DA says opposition parties in the George council should not claim victory for the raid. Zille says they acted after receiving a tip-off of alleged corruption.

“We welcome this action by the Hawks. We are absolutely serious about eradicating all corruption where the DA governs and establishing a clean government for all the people,” Zille says.
