Western Cape African National Congress (ANC) chairman Marius Fransman‚ asked to step aside from politics after a sexual harassment scandal‚ smiled as he shook the hand of President Jacob Zuma during an election roadshow in Cape Town on Thursday. Fransman made his unexpected appearance in Philippi‚ on the Cape Flats‚ with other ANC leaders to the surprise of many observers.It is the first time that he has taken part in a high-profile ANC event since being asked to “step aside” earlier this year for allegedly sexually harassing his private assistant‚ Louisa Wynand‚ when she accompanied him to the party's birthday celebrations in Rustenburg.Police are still investigating a charge of sexual harassment opened by Wynand and the ANC also conducted an internal investigation into the incident.City Press published a “leaked” version of the internal investigation report which stated that he should immediately relinquish all politically elected positions he held in the ANC. But the contents of the report were disputed by the ANC.Since then‚ several inappropriate WhatsApp messages he sent to the young woman have surfaced.But this did nothing to dampen his enthusiasm when he publicly welcomed Zuma to Cape Town on Thursday with a hearty hand shake and a smile. Fransman wore an ANC t-shirt featuring a photograph of Zuma with the words‚ “Vote ANC”.TMG Digital/The Times ..
