Cape Town - The New National Party's leadership has suspended the party membership of Social Development Deputy Minister David Malatsi and former Western Cape premier Peter Marais pending an internal party investigation.
The decision was taken by the NNP's federal executive which met in Cape Town on Friday morning, NNP general secretary Darryl Swanepoel told Sapa.
Neither Malatsi nor Marais were present.
The SABC reported that the party could terminate the membership on Saturday.
Earlier in the week the pair were suspended from party activities pending a probe by the Public Protector into their role in the controversial Roodefontein golf estate development.
