Myeni listed a bachelor's degree in administration as one of her qualifications when she was appointed in 2009 but the degree in was removed last year's annual report.

He defended himself by saying he was not the one who said he had those qualifications. Another high profile leader who said he never made claims that he had certain qualifications was SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng.
