Cape Town MMC JP Smith who is being probed for alleged tender fraud says politicians have been working on a smear campaign against him.

Cape Town member of mayoral committee of safety and security JP Smith says a political smear campaign is behind the raid at his offices.

“Apart from these tell-tale warning signs, I have been reliably informed that members within SAPS have briefed senior ANC politicians,” he said. “While some of these persons have already been identified, and in what the source called a ‘frame-up,’ an individual featured on the recording described the reason for me being targeted simply because I ‘stood in the way of too much’.”On Friday, Western Cape police spokesperson Andre Traut said several municipal officials and business owners are facing a myriad of charges that relate to the same investigation.
