Andile Lungisa has vowed to campaign for the ANC in the local government elections after his party’s national disciplinary committee set aside his suspension imposed by the Eastern Cape ANC.
Reacting to the ruling, Lungisa said he was very happy the ANC had defended its constitution, and that the NDC had handled his appeal in a transparent manner.
In 2018, the Grahamstown High Court sentenced Lungisa to three years in jail, of which one was suspended, for smashing a water jug over the head of DA councillor Ryno Kayser. The three other ANC members, Mbewu, Nikani and Dumisa, also appealed to the NDC against their membership suspension The committee consolidated their cases as one.
“In the NDC’s view, the documents were not actual or redacted minutes of a PEC meeting, which would have demonstrated conclusively that members of the PDC be appointed by the PEC - a requirement set out in Rule 19.9.17 of the ANC constitution.
