JOHANNESBURG – The African National Congress has called on its disgruntled members to refocus their energy on campaigning for the party ahead of next month’s general elections instead of dragging the
organisation to court over its list of candidates for Parliament and provincial legislatures.
The members, including former arts and culture MEC Dan Kgothule, were unhappy that their names were excluded from the list of candidates to represent the party in Parliament. A court in Mpumalanga on Tuesday also ruled against ANC members who wanted to have the provincial executive committee dissolved.
