The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has dropped the attempted murder charges against the DA National Council of Provinces (NCOP) member and the party's Eastern Cape spokesperson, Mlindi Nhanha.
Has the DA’s Chief Whip, Natasha Mazzone, been dishonest about her educational background? In particular, has Mazzone claimed to hold a law qualification that she actually never completed?
This was the question that began to circulate both within the party and on social media following the publication of a
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.
The DA’s Natasha Mazzone claims former fellow party member, the GOOD party’s Brett Heron, is behind the changes made to her Wikipedia profile, which lists her as being a qualified advocate
