Carl Niehaus “lied” about degree – Beeld

The web of untruth that former ANC spokesperson Dr Carl Niehaus seems to have spun around his life continues to unravel. Beeld newspaper reported on Tuesday that contrary to claims made by Niehaus, he never received a doctorate in theology from the University of Utrecht.

The website of M&C Investment Holdings - the company owned by Niehaus and his wife -claims that "While in the Netherlands, he [Niehaus] also studied and obtained his Masters and Doctorates in Theology Summa cum Laude from the University of Utrecht." A similar claim is made on Niehaus's biography on the Litnet site. In his capacity as ANC spokesperson a number of party statements were "issued by Dr Carl Niehaus".

However, Beeld reports that a spokesperson for the university could find no record of Niehaus having received a doctoral degree from them. The newspaper states that according to it's enquires in the Netherlands Niehaus was a "doctorandus" - a halfway stage on the way to a doctorate. Ecumenical News International meanwhile quotes Ludo Koks, a spokesperson for the university, as saying: "Mr Niehaus has not received a doctorate degree from our university."

So they way it's panning out can't be good news for Ma****ele. If he knew about the fraud 'within hours' he didn't report it. If he found out about the fraud afterwards, he didn't report it. Looking at a 5 stretch there Paul?

The only reason that I can see the ANC keeping Niehaus around is to learn from his mistakes. He got caught, what do they need to do to avoid that pitfall in the future? Getting caught that is.

Well ... with all that, I've seen the path to my future. Our ruling party seems to have made its preferences quite clear, so I'm now off to go and defraud some poor unsuspecting bastard. And then lie about it.

Awesome way to find employment.

This crook needs to be booted to the curb... but he's no better than the rest of the ANC cadres it seems.. he just has more expensive tastes.

Cadre in my mind means criminal, no matter what the dictionary says.

Did anyone else hear the rap song about him. It sounded like Wackhead Simpson.

Niehaus will become the ANC's sacrificial white lamb.
