NASIONAAL. – Peter de Villiers, voormalige Springbok-rugby-afrigter en van die GOOD- politieke party, is weens ‘n beweerde klagte van seksuele wangedrag van alle party-aktiwiteite geskors.
Brett Herron, GOOD se sekretaris-generaal en lid van die parlement, sê in ‘n verklaring die klagte is van ‘n partylid ontvang. Hy sê voorts die grondwet geld vir almal ongeag watter posisie die persoon beklee.
Herron sê die skorsing is nie ingestel omdat De Villiers skuldig bevind is nie; die aksie reflekteer die erns van die beweringe.
‘n Dissiplinêre proses sal gevolg word en die party sal vir eers nie verder oor die insident kommentaar lewer nie.

GOOD Statement by Brett Herron,
GOOD Secretary-General & Member of Parliament
2 February 2024
GOOD has summarily suspended Peter de Villiers from all party activities after receiving a complaint of sexual misconduct from a party member.
GOOD’s constitution is unambiguous on gender relations and gender-based violence. The constitution applies to all members, regardless of position.
De Villiers’ suspension is not a finding of guilt; it reflects the seriousness of the allegations.
The Party will implement disciplinary processes to determine if the provisions of its constitution have been breached.
Given the sensitive nature of the allegations, the party will, for now, be making no further comment on the matter.
