The DA has terminated the party membership of Western Cape legislature speaker Masizole Mnqasela.
reported that after the motion was submitted on Friday, the DA said it had charged Mnqasela with misconduct and suspended him from all party activities. The report quoted Mnqasela as having said the legislature had not received any complaints against him, yet the DA motion, which cast aspersions on him, was worded as though there had been a decision by the legislature to remove him from office.
The action against Mnqasela arises from allegations of fraud or corruption over subsistence, travel and entertainment allowances he claimed. The allegations by whistle-blowers were reported to the Hawks for investigation by Western Cape premier Alan Winde. “Apart from escalating the matter to the Hawks, the DA has also reported the matter to its federal legal commission for urgent investigation. The party will follow its internal disciplinary processes with deliberate speed to ensure accountability, while respecting Mr Mnqasela’s right to submit his defence in this matter,” the party said at the time.
