The councillor will face sexual assault charges in the Clanwilliam Magistrates Court on Friday.
He was arrested earlier this week in connection with an incident on Sunday involving a 13-year-old girl.
The DA has indicated it will let the law take its course and will only act if there’s a guilty verdict.
The party's Western Cape spokesperson Anneke Scheepers said: “The DA views sexual assault in an extremely serious light and will act severely against any of its members found guilty of it. However, at this stage, the councillor is innocent until proven guilty.”
