Mkhwebane’s scathing report, released in Pretoria on Friday, found Western Cape Premier Alan Winde and the provincial MEC for local government, environmental affairs and development planning Anton Bredell were in breach of the executive ethics code.

“It is cold comfort to people who are hungry, who live in circumstances not fit for human habitation, to hear that wasteful expenditure has been cut in the town,” Herron said.In his complaint, Herron alleged that the former Executive Mayor of the Oudtshoorn local municipality, Colan Sylvester, alerted the MEC to several allegations of maladministration, fraud, corruption and financial misconduct on the part of the municipality, and requested his assistance to attend to these matters.

Mkhwebane found Bredell’s conduct was improper and constituted a direct conflict between his official responsibilities as the MEC responsible for local government and his private interests as the Western Cape provincial chairperson of the DA at the time. Mkhwebane found that Bredell did not act in “good faith and in the best interest of good governance” at the municipality.

Winde then appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs in June 2020, during which, he was referred by a Member of Parliament to the MEC’s proposals to the DA councillors of the municipality that they agree that the municipality is placed under administration.
