Cape Town - Political analyst Professor Boitumelo Senokoane says itâs not a surprise that senior DA members do not have post-matric qualifications.
His comment comes after the opposition party revealed to Independent Media that the chairperson of the DAâs Federal Council, Helen Zille, has referred the investigation into the qualifications of Saldanha mayor Marius Koen to the partyâs federal legal commission for investigation and deliberation.
The EFF recently flagged down Koen for misrepresenting his qualifications.
Last week, Bonginkosi Madikizela submitted his resignation as both DA Western Cape leader and Transport and Public Works MEC.
