DA insists Kohler Barnard's move has nothing to do with Facebook post | News Article

Durban - The Democratic Alliance insists Dianne Kohler Barnard's move from Shadow Police Minister to Deputy Shadow Minister of Public Works is not as result of a Facebook post that landed her in hot water this week.

Leader Mmusi Maimane reshuffled his shadow cabinet yesterday - with the change in Kohler Barnard's portfolio being seen as a demotion.

The DA's Phumzile Van Damme says Kohler Barnard's re-assignment has nothing to do with the post.

Kohler Barnard made headlines this week after a Facebook post she shared last month but promptly deleted resurfaced on social media. In the post - freelance journalist Paul Kirk wrote that apartheid president PW Botha had more integrity than the ANC and called for his return as there were better services during his term.
