Western Cape Premier Alan Winde is currently facing backlash over controversial international travel expenses.
The ANC in the Western Cape has flagged the composition of the appeals committee established to review the guilty verdicts against Premier Alan Winde and two other legislators for breaching the provincial parliament’s code of conduct.
Western Cape ANC leader Khalid Sayed, who lodged the complaint against Winde, said the committee's constitution, which will include the speaker of the legislature, Daylin Mitchell, is flawed.
Winde was found guilty by the Conduct Committee of failing to disclose the sponsorship of an economy-class return flight to New York to attend Climate Week NYC in September 2024.
The ticket, costing R51 000, had been paid for by the Under2Coalition.
