Dear Editor
The DA in the Western Cape is saddened by the tragic passing of DA Councillor and Mayco Member in Stellenbosch, Xolile Kalipa.
Xolile was ruthlessly gunned down in Kayamandi on Sunday evening. While the DA strongly condemns the incident, we urge the South African Police Service (SAPS) to act swiftly to capture the murderers.
Xolile was known as a gentle, true servant of the people worked tirelessly to uphold the DA’s values and championed the residents he served.
He served as Cape Winelands District Councillor over two periods before his election in Stellenbosch Municipality as a PR Councillor in 2021. The former Stellenbosch Mayor saw his potential and appointed him to serve as Mayco Member for Community Services.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Xolile’s family, friends, community and colleagues.
The DA will monitor the matter closely and we hope the perpetrators will face the full might of the law.
Regards
Tertuis Simmers
DA Western Cape Leader
