The Chairperson of the Democratic Alliance’s Federal Council, Helen Zille, has refuted reports that the party has terminated the Western Cape Legislature Speaker Masizole Mnqasela’s membership.
Five months ago, the DA suspended Mnqasela from all party activities. It says its Federal Legal Commission has found that there’s enough credibility in allegations relating to irregular travel, subsistence and allowance claims against him.Zille says Mnqasela has until 10am today to re-apply for membership.
“We have not terminated his membership; it was a cessation of his membership. In July, he unreasonably disparaged the party and its processes by referring, amongst other things, to a witch hunt against him. That is basically what he accused the party of after the disciplinary process against him.
