Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) member Wiekus Kotze was arrested for fraud in Alberton, on the East Rand, early yesterday morning, the party said.

EFF Gauteng spokesman Patrick Sindane said members of the party would support Kotze when he appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court later yesterday.

“We view this as nothing but the abuse of state machinery and power by certain individuals to settle political scores,” he said.

Kotze was reportedly labelled a traitor by some in the Afrikaans community earlier this year. “They told me I was… sucking up to black people,” he said.
