He did not reveal the allegations, but media reports claimed they relate to sexual misconduct. Fritz subsequently stepped down as provincial leader of the DA. On Wednesday, ANC provincial executive committee member Sifiso Mtsweni accused the DA of protecting Fritz, saying “the DA harbours within its ranks sex pests and sex offenders, including perpetrators of gender-based violence .
“The premier of the province, who has sat on this information for some time in his quest to manage internal dynamics within the DA, has today arrogated himself the role of being an investigator, prosecutor and judge. “Rather than respecting the request for confidentiality of whistle-blowers and despite the fact that the investigation is ongoing, the ANC has requested the matter be played out on a national platform in the National Council of Provinces, even though this is not within their mandate.
