Picture: Neil McCartney / The CitizenMbalula was speaking to the media on Monday ahead of the ANC’s national executive committee special meeting held at the Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni.Mbalula told reporters that the ANC NEC will process the list and expects to submit the names of eligible candidates before Friday.
“We have got people who are serving in the legislature who have stepped aside and at the end of the day, their matters are before the courts so in this particular instance these matters overlap.”On whether ANC members who do not meet the minimum requirement of a post-matric qualification would be disqualified to serve as an MP, Mbalula said the matter would be taken into consideration.
“This time around the bar has been set higher, in that qualifications is a key consideration in terms of the criteria. Obviously, you can have matric but it must count for other things and that you have improved yourself beyond matric to get a qualification.
