Cape Town â The ANC and Good Party in the Western Cape have called on Premier Alan Winde to remove Public Works and Transport MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela from the provincial cabinet
Calls for the axing of Madikizela, who is also the DAâs Western Cape provincial leader, come as it has emerged that he has allegedly lied about holding a BCom degree in Human Resources.
The issue was brought to light after media reports that Madikizela may have lied about his qualifications.
In his Western Cape parliamentary biography, Madikizela is said to possess a BCom degree in Human Resources and a certificate in Information Technology.
The DA’s federal legal commission will now be tasked with investigating the matter.
The party says it’s concerned about the allegations and will follow due process to establish the facts.
The DA s federal legal commission will investigate claims that Western Cape leader Bonginkosi Madikizela falsified his qualifications.
DA Federal Council chairperson Helen Zille said the party was concerned following reports that Madikizela claims a qualification he does not hold.
Daily Maverick reported that the Western Cape MEC of transport and public works does not have the BCom degree he claimed to have. The DA notes with concern, the allegation that the CV of Bonginkosi Madikizela, the party’s Western Cape leader, claims a qualification that he does not hold. The DA regards this in a serious light and will follow due process in establishing the facts and taking consequent follow up action, said Zille.
