# The DA in the Western Cape has slammed Kannaland mayor Jeffrey Donson’s decision to remain in his seat. The party says this proves that he has no respect for his victims or community. Donson confirmed that he would not be stepping down despite the public outrage linked to his 2008 rape conviction. The DA’s Gillion Bosman has labelled the mayor as a criminal. He says he knows that Donson would not have stepped down because it is the ANC which keeps him in power.
