ActionSA questions DA councillor’s possible promotion

# ActionSA has raised concerns over reports that the DA is considering promoting Cape Town councillor Abdulkader “AK” Elyas to Parliament or the Western Cape Legislature. ActionSA Western Cape chairperson Dereleen James says Elyas was found guilty in an internal DA disciplinary process of falsifying qualifications and dishonesty. James is calling on the DA to explain the reported deployment, saying public representatives must uphold the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
