The EFF has demanded the resignation of DA councillor Abdulkader Elyas, accusing him of falsifying his medical qualifications. The controversy began when Elyas claimed to have earned his qualifications from the University of Cape Town, which was allegedly false. ActionSA has called for a qualifications audit to ensure that only qualified individuals hold public office and to maintain credibility and ethical leadership within the Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town. The scandal highlights the importance of honesty, integrity, and ethical leadership in public office, and the need for vigilance and accountability.
