Former mayor lays no charge
By Odette Ismail
Sanettte Smit, the former mayor of the Berg River failed to report the verbal abuse she claimed she received from an official.
Last week Smit resigned after alleging that she had been verbally abused by ANC provincial deputy secretary, Max Ozinsky. Ozinsky has denied the allegations of racism, sexism and defamatory statements.
According to the Cape Argus, Police spokesperson Superintendent Elliot Sinyangana said a case of crimen injuria had been registered by Smit at Porterville police station.
Sinyangana said that not all of the elements that could contribute to the above charge were present though. The row between the two arose from talks around the axing of the municipality’s manager Arnold Brehenhand.
The ANC is confident that Ozinsky acted in the right way in trying to stop the removal of Bredenhand’s contract.Smit declined to comment
