Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has shot down claims that the release of the findings of an independent investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against former Community and Safety MEC Albert Fritz was politically motivated.

Winde appeared before the Standing Committee on Community and Safety on Wednesday, a mere 24 hours after the release of the much-awaited findings in a report compiled by advocate Jennifer Williams.

And opposition parties held no punches when they grilled him over his decision to fire Fritz.

"This was not politically motivated. This was about justice that gender-based violence is dealt with decisively and that people are given a proper platform to deal with this and there are consequences," Winde told them.

Winde said he acted swiftly after he was made aware of the allegations in November last year.

"I was angry. I was disappointed. I worked with him, and this is difficult stuff. There is no party political interference in this. I take my job very seriously. I was on an emotional rollercoaster," he said.

Briefing the committee, Williams said: "The allegations range from sexual comments, inappropriate touching, attempts to kiss and kissing without consent and sexual intercourse. They range over a number of years and a number of incidents."

"Many of the youngsters provided images and videos to us because they had never travelled before. They documented their lives. We provided Fritz with the images so I wouldn't draw any aspirations that this was a conspiracy because some of it was obtained through the investigation and without witnesses," she added.

The independent investigation found "sufficient credibility" in the allegations of sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse.

Fritz broke his silence on Tuesday after resigning from the party.

He vowed to take the report on review and to approach the courts.

"It is absolutely clear that the last two months' ordeal is a consequence of political orchestration in order to assassinate my character and ensure my departure from political and executive office. This repugnant agenda seeks to attain power at all costs, without consideration of the affects it has on real people," Fritz said.
