Truman Prince to exhaust all legal remedies if found guilty

By

The African National Congress (ANC) will soon decide on the fate of former Beaufort West mayor, Truman Prince. Prince who stands accused of assault will face heavy grilling and scrutiny from the ANC.

Aside from the assault case, the former mayor also allegedly wrote a letter on behalf of the ANC that favors a certain construction company. The assault case referred to involves a female police traffic officer in Leeu Gamka in the Karoo. He denied guilt in both accusations.

The disciplinary hearing will be judged by the ANC. The verdict will go out this Friday if not further delayed yet again. Prince, on his part, said that he will exhaust all legal options if found guilty, according to Eye Witness News.

The highly educated politician is a controversial figure with a history of soliciting sexual favors from teenage girls. The act was caught on camera but in the end, he was cleared and reinstated. Controversial as he is, Prince said that he always gets in hot water due to his political convictions. He still believes in the process and he is still firm on his innocence.

"Innocent until proven guilty, after being proven guilty there’s still another process, and after that process there’s still another process," Prince was quoted saying in the same article.

The Times Live wrote that Prince denied writing the incriminating letter but he will face the consequences since he signed his name on it. The Times Live also quoted Prince saying that "The ANC will crumble without me in Beaufort West."

Gareth Van Onselen of the Rand Daily Mail said that the ANC also denied any collusion in the case. Onselen reported that the ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said that Prince shouldn't have been reckless on behalf of the ANC.

Mantashe also said that the ANC has not sent a message to all its mayors to say give tenders to (those) who will fund the ANC.
