Daily Maverick article on 13 April revealing that the party’s Western Cape leader, Bonginkosi Madikizela, was publicly claiming a BCom degree he had not actually earned.
Mazzone is not the only DA figure facing this kind of accusation in the aftermath of the Madikizela scandal. Questions have also been asked of the DA’s Saldanha Bay Mayor Marius Koen and Western Cape MEC for Human Settlements Tertuis Simmers, with Koen under investigation by the party.

Federal Council deputy chairperson, James Masango, and MP Annelie Lotriet, have been appointed as joint administrators.
In a memo seen by the Pretoria News, circulated among members, the party states that Smalle was suspended from Thursday last week.
