Chabaan's expulsion 'favoured'

2007-10-31 19:05

Cape Town - The Cape Town City council on Wednesday upheld the metro's disciplinary committee's recommendation that leader of the National People's Party, Badih Chaaban, be expelled as councillor.

Chief whip of the council, Anthea Serritslev, said a full sitting of council voted in favour of Chaaban's expulsion.

"The majority of members voted in favour of the disciplinary hearing committee's decision that Chaaban be expelled from council," she said.

However, the council's decision has to be ratified by Western Cape MEC Richard Dyantyi for it to be implemented.

According to the SABC, Chaaban, who was late for the Wednesday sitting, had hardly been in the council chambers for two minutes before six bodyguards were called in to remove him.

The SABC said that Chaaban took exception to Zille's statement, labelling him a criminal.

Zille's statement was based on allegations that Chaaban bribed other councillors during the floor crossing window in order for them to defect to the NPP.

Chaaban immediately retorted that Zille was the real criminal.
