The DA has labelled a Hawks error linking a DA councillor to fraud involving the
Temporary Employee Relief Scheme (TERS)
, as a smear campaign .
Grose handed herself over to police on Thursday.
The DA has lashed out at South Africa s Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation unit, the Hawks, after they backtracked on a statement saying DA councillor Nora Grose had allegedly misappropriated TERS funding.
The Hawks initially released a statement saying they suspected Grose of involvement in defrauding Temporary Employee Relief Scheme (TERS) funding.
However, they have since released a statement saying there s nothing linking Grose to the TERS funding, and that she s instead accused of money laundering charges related to food parcels and money diverted through a church.
