#VBSHeist: DA to lead national day of action in Limpopo and affected municipalities

23rd October 2018

Today, Tuesday 23 October 2018, the Democratic Alliance (DA) Limpopo Premier Candidate and Leader, Jacques Smalle MPL , Team One South Africa National Spokesperson, Solly Malatsi MP and DA Team One South Africa Spokesperson on Basic Services, Makashule Gana MPL, will lead the march to submit a memorandum of demands to the Limpopo Premier , Stan Mathabatha to immediately take action against all individuals who are implicated in the multi-billion rand VBS Mutual Bank scandal.

The march comes after Premier Mathabatha failed to suspend all public representatives and top ANC officials implicated in the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) “The Great Bank Heist” Report.

The VBS scandal has already put numerous municipalities at risk of losing municipal funds such as Vhembe, Elias Motsoaledi, Greater Giyani, Fetakgomo-Tubatse and Makhado.

Further to this, the DA will lead concurrent pickets in municipalities in affected municipalities across Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the North West.

In building One South Africa for all, we must take a hardline approach against corruption, which steals opportunities from our people.

They will be joined by other DA MPs, MMPLs, Councilors and DA Activists.

Details of the event are as follows:

Date: Today, 23 October 2018

Time: 10:00

Address: SABC Park (2 Hospital Street) to the Premier Office (40 Hans van Rensburg Street, Polokwane)
