DA clarifies appointment of Mazzone as second deputy chairperson
16 April 2018
The DA dismissed a report that Natasha Mazzone assumed the role as the second deputy chairperson of the party's federal council without an election.
The Sunday Times reported on Sunday that Mazzone was allegedly appointed to the position without an election, and that Gauteng MPL Khume Ramulifho had written about it to the party’s federal council chairperson James Selfe.
The Sunday newspaper reported that Ramulifho’s letter to Selfe indicated he would seek legal advice on the appointment from his lawyer.
But Selfe dismissed these claims, saying the "confusion" might have come from only one deputy chairperson being announced at the recent federal congress.
