Now we need someone to start looking at the qualifications of some of our Ghanaian politicians.

A Top South African politician and anti-apartheid activist-Pallo Jordan has resigned as an MP after it emerged his academic qualifications were fake.

A former minister, he first served under ex-President Nelson Mandela and is generally referred to as Dr Jordan.

But media reports said he had lied on his CV about having a doctorate.

The governing African National Congress (ANC) said Mr Jordan had apologised for “deceiving government and the people of South Africa for many years”.

“A man of Comrade Pallo Jordan’s intellect does not need to perpetuate deceit, he must be given time to deal with his guilt,” ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe in a statement.

“As the ANC, we have accepted his public apology. To apologise was not an action of the faint hearted.”

As a respected politician in South Africa, this news has raised eyebrows!
