South Africa’s main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), has suffered a series of recent public embarrassments as a clutch of its senior figures, including its national leader, John Steenhuisen, a party provincial head or two and yet other members of Parliament such as Natasha Mazzone, have had their claimed academic credentials or the lack of them called into public question about whether they are well-enough educated for national leadership.
While these occurrences have made headlines, bruised egos, rubbished reputations in many eyes, and even forced a sullen withdrawal from public office for several individuals, they have not been the only times outings over false or absent credentials have occurred in South Africa. Political figures from the governing party and others have also been forced to carry out painful public retreats from claims in their CVs or to issue a painful admission if they have allowed such claims to be widely circulated on their behalf.

Shirley Williams, Lady Williams of Crosby, who has died aged 90, was one of the most influential figures in British social democracy in the latter half of the 20th century. The former Labour cabinet minister who defected to co-found the Social Democratic Party, of which she then became president, later served as leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords after the merger between the SDP and the Liberal party.

HIRLEY WILLIAMS spent her life at the heart of the liberal establishment. Her mother, Vera Brittain, was a prominent feminist and author of the first world war classic “Testament of Youth”; her father, Sir George Catlin, was an academic political theorist and Labour party activist (some would say suck-up); guests at the family home in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, included T.S. Eliot, Jawaharlal Nehru and most of the leading Labour figures of the age. Ms Williams went on to marry two of the Anglo-Saxon world’s leading liberal intellectuals Bernard Williams, a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and later provost of King’s College, Cambridge, and, after a long gap, Richard Neustadt, a Harvard professor and author of the classic “Presidential Power”.
