Fransman asked to step down
ANC Western Cape chairperson Marius Fransman has been asked to step down pending the finalisation of a sexual harassment investigation.
A woman accused Fransman of sexual harassment while they travelled to the North West for the ANC birthday rally in Rustenburg earlier this month.
Fransman has denied the claims.
ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa says: "The national working committee felt it appropriate we ask Fransman to step down pending the finalisation of the criminal investigation."
Kodwa says the decision will take immediate effect.
The provincial executive committee of the Western Cape will decide if an acting chairperson will be appointed or whether a new chairperson will be elected.
