DA to proceed with Mbali Ntuli case
Ntuli is facing the DA’s federal legal council for, among other things, liking a Facebook post that claimed former leader Helen Zille was a racist
The DA will proceed with a disciplinary hearing against Mbali Ntuli despite a recommendation that there was not enough evidence to support a complaint lodged against her. Ntuli, a DA leader in KwaZulu-Natal, has been accused of contravening the party’s social media policy when she allegedly “liked” a comment on Facebook which characterised former leader Helen Zille a racist. This comes as Zille is facing the party’s federal legal council (FLC) for her Twitter comments about colonialism. Zille’s fate has split the party between those who remain loyal to her and leaders who believe she may well be expelled for her comments. According to an investigation report compiled by the FLC, the party’s disciplinary committee, it was recommended that no further action be taken against Ntuli to avoid more harm being done. The DA’s federal executive was not happy and insisted that Ntuli be charged.
