Zille to be quizzed

WESTERN Cape Premier Helen Zille will on Saturday be interviewed by the legal structures of the DA’s federal executive as a first step towards determining if she should face disciplinary charges for her controversial remarks on colonialism.

“They will then decide whether there is evidence or not to support a disciplinary charge,” said federal executive chairperson James Selfe.

Selfe said they would receive a report on the meeting and would then decide whether to refer the case to a disciplinary panel.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane instituted a complaint after a storm broke over Zille’s head last week when she questioned on Twitter whether “every aspect of colonialism was bad”.

Zille has apologised for her remarks. – ANA
