DA welcomes Fransman's legal challenge 

The DA welcomes reports today that Marius Fransman will take the DA to court over the fact that they bought Grant Pascoe with R1 million and an expensive car. To Mr Fransman we say:  Bring it on!

We are happy to prove in court that the ANC is corrupt. Their only method of recruitment is to throw money at people. The party no longer has values or a plan of action to inspire people. 

We have solid proof that Mr Fransman "bought" Mr Pascoe, and that he has in fact attempted to buy other DA members as well (see Cape Times report).

If Mr Fransman does not initiate his defamation case immediately it will prove that he is scared to do so because he has no case. He has called our party leader a liar - but we have the proof to show that he is the liar. 

The ANC under Jacob Zuma has become corrupt. It is no longer the party it used to be.

With the culture of corruption and patronage growing unabated every day, it is no wonder that the party cannot grow the economy and create more jobs for South Africans. 

We look forward to taking on Mr Fransman in court. It will give us a wonderful opportunity to show just how corrupt Zuma's ANC has become.
