The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the North West reiterates its call to keep those responsible for the VBS scandal accountable.

In a statement by DA’s North West Province Premier candidate, Joe McGluwa, the organisation points out how the ruling party , the ANC , is failing to take their own to task, as far as the VBS saga is concern. According to McGluwa, “While the failing ANC clearly wants to protect the politicians who recklessly made investments on behalf of their respective municipalities, these failed investments have brought basic service delivery in the implicated municipalities to a halt.” He said .

“We again call for the arrest of all officials involved, for the blatant looting of the people’s money. The failing ANC want them to walk away scot-free while millions in the North West suffer due to poor service delivery and corruption.” Expressed McGluwa.

According to the DA in the North West Province , No action has been taken against mayors at the municipalities here, which is an absolute disgrace. There has also been no action taken against the municipal managers or the chief financial officers of the municipalities.

“We have laid charges against former Premier Supra Mahumapelo in November last year, following strong allegations citing that he abused his position to facilitate the investment of people’s money with VBS bank, worth R314 million, from four municipalities namely, Madibeng, Moretele, Dr. Ruth Segomotsi Mompati, and Mahikeng.” McGluwa explained .
