AfriForum sal korrupsie, bedrog en wanbestuur in Cederberg die hoof bied
Na ’n baie suksesvolle eerste jaar van aksie in belang van burgerregte het AfriForum se tak in Cederberg sy eerste jaarvergadering op Dinsdag, 13 Augustus te Clanwilliam gehou.
Die gasspreker, Pieter Rautenbach, hoof van plaaslikeregeringsake van AfriForum se hoofkantoor, het ’n beroep op die gemeenskap gedoen om voort te gaan om ontslae te raak van amptenare en raadslede wat by ongerymdhede betrokke is. AfriForum-hoofkantoor sal alle steun moontlik in dié verband aan die tak gee.
Die uittredende voorsitter, Louis Röntgen, het gesê dat die lewering van munisipale dienste eers werklik aangepak kan word wanneer korrupte amptenare en raadslede uit hulle poste gelig is. “Ons is baie dankbaar vir die SAPD se teenkorrupsie-eenheid, die Valke wat ondanks pogings om hulle te verhoed om met ondersoeke voort te gaan, vasbeslote is om spoedig meer arrestasies te maak,” het Röntgen gesê.
Die bestuur is eenparig herkies en sal in die onderskeie portefeuljes aangewys word by die eerste bestuursvergadering.
Ná die stigting van ’n AfriForum-tak op Cederberg het dit gou duidelik geword dat korrupte amptenare verwyder sal moet word. AfriForum se ingryping het sedertdien uitgeloop op ’n intensiewe ondersoek deur die Valke en arrestasies kan binnekort verwag word.
