ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe and head of presidency Zizi Kodwa remain on the party's election list to parliament despite facing allegations of sexual harassment and rape, respectively | Neo_Gee
"For now, on matters of the ANC's integrity, I have limitation to talk on them because anybody who has question marks [tainted] must be referred to the integrity commission," said Legoete."For now, Kodwa and Mabe have not been officially charged by our law enforcement agencies. If you and I join the dots when matters are like this, how do [we] make a decision to punish them?," said Legoete.
Integrity commission chair George Mashamba said he was yet to see the list and, therefore, it would be premature for him to comment. "The integrity commission has not seen the list and it has not been requested by the ANC to comment on it, so I don't know who is or is not on the list ," said Mashamba.
Mabe was accused of sexual harassment by his personal assistant Kgoerano Kekana late last year and was cleared by the party's grievance panel last month.He has denied the allegations and said he refused to"succumb to extortion and blackmail" and would not be silenced through"dirty tricks".
