ActionSA Member of Parliament (MP) Dereleen James has laid criminal charges against Social Development Minister Nokuzola Sisisi Tolashe, accusing her of misleading Parliament over the origins of two luxury vehicles allegedly linked to the ANC Women’s League (ANCWL).
James announced the move on social media on Wednesday, opening the case at the Cape Town Magistrate’s court.
“Minister Sisisi Tolashe will not get away with LYING to Parliament to cover potential criminal conduct,” she said.
“Today, ActionSA has: opened a criminal case of corruption against Minister Tolashe; submitted a complaint to the Public Protector for breaches of the Executive Members’ Ethics Act; and laid a formal complaint with Parliament’s Ethics Committee for breaches of the Code of Conduct and Disclosure of Members’ Interests. Stay tuned, We will not allow a Minister to destroy one of the most important departments meant to care for vulnerable citizens.”
