DA removes Ghaleb Cachalia as Deputy Shadow Minister of Trade and Industry over comment on Israel
The Democratic Alliance has removed Ghaleb Cachalia as Deputy Shadow Minister of Trade and Industry, over his comment on Israel’s attack on Gaza.
According to the DA, this went against a caucus decision that its Shadow Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Emma Powell would be the only spokesperson on the Israel-Gaza war.Political analyst Professor Andre Duvenage says Cachalia may have overstepped the party’s rules by sympathising with Hamas in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Duvenage says political parties should offer individual members an opportunity to exercise freedom of speech according to their conscience.
