GEORGE NEWS - Following the Hawks' raid at the George Municipality this morning, Jaco Londt (DA Chairperson of the East Region) told the George Herald that it is the Democratic Alliance who initiated this process following a high-level DA panel investigation into the situation in George.
"This shows that we are serious about our brand of clean governance and that we are not afraid to act, even where it allegedly involves party members," said Londt.
"We welcome the actions by the Hawks and now need to respect the process and allow the investigation to run its course,"
Members of the Hawks and public order police members carried several boxes out of the building which is believed to contain documents and other items they confiscated.
No arrests have been made at this stage and no one has been charged.
The raid on the DA-run municipality comes just 2 days before the by-elections in Ward 18 in George.
Councillors, bystanders and members of the media take photos of the Hawks as the load boxes into a police vehicle.
