The party says the policy is unlawful and irrational.
The Democratic Alliance caucus in Johannesburg has called on the city to review its VIP Protection Policy.The DA has taken the city to court, accusing it of misusing VIP protection services without following due process.
DA Joburg caucus leader Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku says, “One of the concerns that we’ve raised is that there must be risk and threat analysis done if there is a deviation from the upper limits and that had not been done.” “And also people that are not listed as office bearers that are not supposed VIP protection are getting VIP protection. The city has not proven to us or given us information in the council. When the policy was brought to the council or even after that and prior that … they have done these risk analyses,” adds Kayser-Echeozonjoku.
