South Africa’s main opposition party Democratic Alliance (DA) has charged its former leader Hellen Zille with bringing the party into disrepute for her remarks on colonialism, eNCA reports.
A date for a formal hearing has however not yet been set.
The party accuses her of damaging the party.
Ms Zille, who is serving as the premier of Western Cape province, posted tweets on 16 March that were interpreted by some as glorifying South Africa’s colonial legacy.
Ms Zille later apologised.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane, who took over from Ms Zille in 2015, said at the time that the social media posts had undermined the party’s project to build a “a non-racial, prosperous democracy”.
