Kannaland

THE ANC in the Western Cape has withdrawn its coalition agreement with Kannaland mayor Jeffrey Donson.

In 2008 Donson, who is a member of the Independent Civic Organisation of SA (Icosa), was convicted for the rape of a 15-year-old girl during his tenure as mayor.

He was re-elected to the top spot following a coalition agreement with the ANC in the province in the recent municipal elections.

Since the announcement of his second term as mayor, much backlash has been received from child activists and NGOs who are opposed to him leading the community because of his criminal record.
