The ANC national disciplinary committee (NDC) has overturned the suspension of former ANC Youth League deputy president Andile Lungisa
While in custody, the ANC Eastern Cape disciplinary committee found him guilty in absentia for contravening the party’s constitution and his membership was suspended for 18 months.
He also argued that the provincial presenter did not have legal grounds to present and also that the charges against him were served on him outside of the six months prescribed by the party’s constitution. In overturning the suspension, Mafu said Lungisa and three members raised a formidable argument that the PDC was not properly constituted.
“To support its contention that the PDC members were not properly appointed by the PEC, the ANC provided a report of a PEC meeting held on August 23 and 24 last year and a document dated December 2017 evidence of the appointment of some of the PDC members. Letters of invitation to PDC members to serve in the PDC were also produced,” Mafu said.
