DA challenges Modise salary sanction over Tshwane conflict of interest

The DA has gone to court to challenge a Tshwane council decision to dock Deputy Mayor Eugene Modise just two months' salary after a forensic report found he breached the councillors' code of conduct by benefiting from a company doing business with the city. The party argues the sanction is too lenient and risks setting a dangerous precedent for public officials found guilty of ethical misconduct. Phemelo spoke to DA Tshwane mayoral candidate, Cilliers Brink, about why the party believes the decision should be overturned. www.kaya959.co.za · Kayafm
