Kohler Barnard to face the music
Johannesburg - The fate of former DA shadow minister for police, Dianne Kohler Barnard will be decided on Friday when the party's disciplinary hearing sits to hear her response to charges laid against her following her sharing of a controversial social media post.
Kohler Barnard courted controversy last week when she shared a Facebook post from journalist Paul Kirk praising former apartheid president PW Botha.
In the post he declared, "Please come back PW Botha - you were far more honest than any of these [African National Congress] rogues, and you provided a far better service to the public".
Kohler-Barnard has since apologised for sharing the post.
At a DA protest outside Chancellor House on Thursday, DA leader Mmusi Maimane said Kohler Barnard would be given the chance at the disciplinary hearing to plead her case to the party top brass.
