The Democratic Alliance in the Eastern Cape said it intends to suspend former Provincial leader, Nqaba Bhanga, as part of a probe into claims that he brought the party into disrepute.
Provincial leader, Andrew Whitfield, said in a statement on Sunday that they intend to suspend Bhanga from all party activities pending the outcome of their investigations “among other transgressions of the DA’s standards of conduct for its members."
"The intention to suspend Nqaba Bhanga follows after he publicly labelled another DA member, Helen Zille, a "racist and posted unfounded allegations against her on social media," he said.
Whitfield said Bhanga would have 48 hours to respond to the suspension upon receipt of the notice.
He said the DA Provincial Executive Committee has referred the case to the party’s Federal Legal Commission (FLC) for an investigation.
"The DA in the Eastern Cape is deeply disappointed by Bhanga’s conduct which is contrary to his previous commitment to non-racialism and the Party.”
