DA Federal Council chairperson Helen Zille says the party is investigating after it emerged that Bonginkosi Madikizela allegedly lied on his CV.
Madikizela, an MEC and the leader of the DA in the Western Cape, falsely claimed that he had obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree on his CV.
According to a Daily Maverick report, Madikizela claimed he had completed a BCom degree in HR Management when he was first appointed by Zille in her cabinet back when she was Western Cape premier in 2009.
Zille admits to CapeTalk that Madikizela s qualifications were never vetted because a degree was not a requirement for the role.
