Western Cape Premier and former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Helen Zille will know on Sunday whether she will face any disciplinary measures for controversial tweets praising colonialism.
In a statement on Monday, James Selfe, chairperson of the DA’s federal executive said a report compiled by Glynnis Breytenbach, the party’s chairwoman of the federal legal commission, has been submitted to him.
“This report will now be discussed at a Federal Executive meeting, to be held on Sunday, 2 April 2017.”
On March 16, Zille tweeted: “For those claiming legacy of colonialism was ONLY negative, think of our independent judiciary, transport infrastructure, piped water etc”.
Zille’s successor as DA leader Mmusi Maimane lodged a complaint following the tweets.
The Western Cape premier later apologised for the remarks, but not before an internal investigation was launched.
