With the appointment of Advocate Jennifer Williams, Western Cape Premier Alan Winde said that he would communicate the outcome of the investigation when it is finalised.
A war of words has broken out between the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA) over the suspension of the Western Cape Community Safety MEC, Albert Fritz.
The premier said that due to the serious nature of the claims, an independent legal expert with relevant experience was best placed to investigate the allegations to determine their veracity.
The suspension of Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz was announced on Sunday night. On Monday, Fritz also stepped down as interim Democratic Alliance (DA) provincial party leader.
