Former DA Gauteng leader John Moodey responded in blistering fashion to DA accusations about why he left the party – and implicated MP Mike Waters as the alleged culprit in a jobs-for-sex scandal.
This follows a media briefing held by DA interim leader John Steenhuisen to clear the party against Moodey’s accusations of racism and unfairness, directed particularly towards its black and coloured members.
Moodey claimed that he was approached by one of the DA members who is also being charged, who told him that Waters had tried to solicit sex from two councillors in exchange for positions in the Ekhurhuleni Municipality. Moodey claimed another complaint was raised by a senior member of the Ekurhuleni caucus where the same councillors had approached him to express their concerns, as the selections processes were approaching for the upcoming local elections.A few weeks into the lockdown period, Moodey then received a call from the same senior councillor informing him that Dinake was prepared to submit an affidavit in which he would confirm the sex-for-jobs allegations against Waters.
He then called Dinake after being requested to do so by the senior councillor and assured him that he would be protected if this was indeed a genuine case. Steenhuisen earlier said that the party’s decision to release documents in connection with various cases that served before the FLC against Moodey was “in the interest of transparency and fairness”.
