Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University vice-chancellor Derrick Swartz managed to get the name of the new Eastern Cape Premier wrong when he introduced him ahead of the Raymond Mhlaba Memorial lecture delivered by President Thabo Mbeki.
Swartz introduced the premier as Mbulelo Goniwe rather than Mbulelo Sogoni.
Goniwe, for those who incredibly short memories, is the former ANC chief whip in the National Assembly found guilty of sexual harassment by a party-appointed disciplinary committee – “abuse of office by trying to obtain sexual advantage from members or others, and charges related to bringing the ANC into disrepute".
Goniwe's ANC membership was suspended for three years; and the penalty suspending his membership was also suspended for three years, conditional on his not holding office in any structure of the ANC for three years. He was also barred from being an ANC public representative for that period.
No wonder Sogoni looked shocked.
