Recently expelled ANC member Carl Niehaus, who subsequently resigned from the ruling party, said calls for him to reconsider his decision and reverse his resignation are “overwhelming” and the “agony” with which he took the decision is “indescribable”.
This is after an ANC member from ward 30 in eThekwini, Thabani Mdletshe, allegedly accused President Cyril Ramaphosa, national chair Gwede Mantashe and former campaign manager Bejani Chauke of buying votes.
“Can they please confirm to me how many BGM’s were actually genuinely constituted and correctly convened and run in terms of the ANC constitution and rules? Are most of the ANC branches actually alive and active, or were they simply convened for purposes of nominating candidates and electing delegates to the national conference?” he asked.
The former party spokesperson alleges he too was a victim of demands for money in exchange for branch nominations. Addressing members who propose that the answer is for Niehaus to go back and 'work with the branches' and ANC structures, he questioned how they suggested he do this, with the rot having gone 'this deep and far'.
