Ja, that's something you can say anonymously on the Internet and everyone knows it's true. But it's bad politics.

Party switching is also a probability.

All I want to see is how the court and SAHRC will rule on the matter, that is whether the case will reach those stages. I guess the SAHRC will take to the podium, but the court will need to establish a victim (or victims) whose dignity was imposed, or hurt, by the utterance. Knowing that the witnesses want to be anonymous this is going to be quite a case.

Politics is a dirty business. They'd all stoop that low if given the opportunity.

I see someone had the time to dig into this. See this posted in comment to the DA's recent Twitter posts on the issue,

Tonge klap in DA

Midde in die spervuur is ‘n DA raadslid van wyk 32, wat na bewering glo die rassistiese ‘k’ woord gebruik het.
May 22, 2015

MOKOPANE – DAAR is die afgelope paar maande groot onmin in DA geledere en beskuldigings en boodskappe vlieg heen en weer op die sosiale netwerke. Midde in die spervuur is Marcelle Maritz, DA raadslid van wyk 32 en bestuurder van die DBV, wat na bewering glo die rassistiese ‘k’ woord gebruik het.

Volgens Beyers Smit, DA parlementslid, het ‘n persoon by hom kom kla oor Maritz se gebruik van die ‘k’ woord en het hy die aangeleentheid onder die DA se Provinsiale Uitvoerende Komitee se aandag gebring. Die komitee het toe besluit om die saak na die DA se Provinsiale Dissiplinêre voorsitter, Federick Pohl, te verwys wat nou ondersoek instel.

Bosveld het ook oproepe ontvang van lesers wat beweer ‘n ander DA raadslid van die dorp gebruik openlik die rassistiese ‘k’ woord in sy gesprekke. Smit het hierop gesê die DA sal nie rassistiese opmerkings duld nie en die gemeenskap is welkom om hom te kontak en formele klagte te lê.

Smit sê die binnegevegte in die party het begin toe hy Delene Pelzer verlede jaar by die DA ingetrek het as aspirant kandidaat vir wyk 32. Dit is die wyk wat tans onder Maritz sorteer.

Pelzer vertel vandeesweek aan Bosveld dat sy verlede jaar vir Maritz gesê het sy wil meer betrokke raak by die DA. “Maritz en Smit het toe in September daaroor gesels en besluit dat Maritz in die 2016 munisipale verkiesing vir wyk 31 in die plek van Korny Dekker, wat tans raadslid vir dié wyk is, sal staan. Ek is gewerf as ‘n aspirant kandidaat vir wyk 32 en het saam Maritz in die wyk begin werk. In Desember het Maritz my genader om saam haar oor te stap na die Vryheidsfront toe. Ek het geweier en ons verhouding het skipbreuk gelei. Maritz het toe besluit sy gaan nie meer wyk 32 opgee nie.”

Die vet was in die vuur en die vonke het begin spat toe Maritz daarna ‘n klag teen Smit by die DA aanhangig gemaak het dat hy verdeeldheid in die party skep. “Haar klag het geen meriete gehad en daar is nie bewys dat ek enigsins verdeeldheid veroorsaak het nie,” sê Smit. Hy het ook in die tyd die DA se Provinsiale Uitvoerende Komitee laat weet hy het ‘n klag ontvang dat Maritz die “k” woord gebruik.

Jacques Smalle, leier van die DA in Limpopo, het aan Bosveld gesê die saak sal deeglik en deursigtig ondersoek word. Daar moet na albei kante van die munt gekyk word. Maritz wou geen kommetaar lewer nie.

Intussen gons dit op Facebook. Percy Nketse, voorsitter van die Mogalakwena Residents Association, sê verlede Vrydag op sy Facebook blad: “I honestly never thought the DA would face a situation where by when some comrades view others as potential threats would go to an extend of fabricating charges against the true leaders whom we respect and adores (pure democrats). That’s why I will always respect non racialists like Mrs. Marcelle Maritz-Mgidi who is a mother to most of the black as we are.”

Maritz reageer daarop deur te sê: “I love the people that loves me and I know you all love me. Thanks for standing up for me. Love you all.”

So... in summary, the disciplinary review was in regard to Maritz using the k-word. She and Smit battled back then... and he opened the case now, 5 years later. Read the part I put in bold, it is in English.

The article I posted. The Mogalakwena Residents Association (MRA) chairman, Percy Nketse, made the post on Facebook,

“I honestly never thought the DA would face a situation where by when some comrades view others as potential threats would go to an extend of fabricating charges against the true leaders whom we respect and adores (pure democrats). That’s why I will always respect non racialists like Mrs. Marcelle Maritz-Mgidi who is a mother to most of the black as we are.”

I see Maritz was very involved with the MRA, also being on an alleged hitlist which targeted their and the local municipal members.

Note: I tried to 'Google' those posts, but no luck. Either it isn't cached anymore, removed or it never happened.

Maybe she was ‘involved’ with the community. It is a mess on social media. DA members, amongst Trollip, is engaging directly with the public commentators. Renaldo Gouws is also writing a wall. All championing the DA. This isn’t limited to the Limpopo branch; it is the party engaging in this activity.

Meanwhile, it is buzzing on Facebook. Percy Nketse, chairman of the Mogalakwena Residents Association, said on his Facebook page last Friday: leaders whom we respect and adore (pure democrats). That's why I will always respect non-racialists like Mrs. Marcelle Maritz-Mgidi who is a mother to most of the black as we are. ”
