POLITICAL NEWS - Senior ANC members are planning to lay fraud charges against City of Cape Town mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith.
This comes after alleged fraudulent statements were made on Smith’s CV, said ANC MP Cameron Dugmore.
Smith is the latest DA member to become embroiled in a qualifications scandal after a biography emerged which stated that Smith had an honours degree in English from Stellenbosch University.
According to media reports on Thursday, Smith’s biography, which his office sent to Music Exchange conference organisers in 2019, stated that he had an honours degree in English from Stellenbosch University. However, he did not complete his degree.
Smith had since voluntarily subjected himself to a probe by the party’s Federal Legal Commission.
