DA slams speaker of eThekwini Municipality of not handling racism incident properly

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in eThekwini has criticized the Speaker of the eThekwini Municipality, Thabani Nyawose, for his handling of a racism incident involving DA councillor Andre Beetge. The incident occurred during a council meeting where Beetge was accused of making a racist remark towards ANC councillor Nkosenhle Madlala. The DA claims that Nyawose did not follow proper procedures by not allowing Beetge to defend himself or present his side of the story before the matter was escalated to the ethics committee. They argue that this approach undermines the principles of fairness and due process. The DA has called for Nyawose to retract his decision and allow Beetge to address the council, emphasizing the need for a fair and unbiased investigation into the allegations.
