Secretary to Parliament Xolile George.
The DA is heading to the Western Cape High Court to review and set aside the appointment and salary increase of Secretary to Parliament, Xolile George.
The party's parliamentary leader, George Michalakis, announced the legal action on Friday, almost five months after his party asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to issue a proclamation for the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to investigate the allegations surrounding the salary package of George and the alleged maladministration of the 2023 BRICS Parliamentary Forum.
The party had also lodged a complaint with Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka against George, former speaker of the National Assembly Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, and former chairperson of the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) Amos Masondo.
Gcaleka has since recused herself from the investigation, citing a perceived conflict of interest linked to their alleged romantic relationship, and the probe is headed by her deputy, Dinkie Dube.
