The governing party’s national spokesperson Pule Mabe said the interdict had no bearing on the conference itself.
The North West African National Conference 9th conference will continue on Saturday despite a court interdict barring the interim provincial committee members from voting.Disgruntled ANC members approached the high court on Friday, seeking an order to stop the IPC from attending and voting at the elective conference.
“We have instructed our legal team to investigate options at our disposal to deal with this matter and advice the NEC accordingly. “We are hopeful that our intervention will find a positive outcome. Despite this decision, the conference is continuing because the court didn’t interdict the conference but rather the voting powers of IPC members,” he said in a statement.
Maloyi’s electoral slate listed Lazzy Mokgosi as deputy chair, Sipho Diale as secretary, Viola Motsumi as deputy secretary and Sello Lehare as treasurer. Maape’s slate being touted comprises Sanco provincial chair and provincial chief whip Paul Sebegoe as deputy chair, Thato Mogogodi as secretary and Rose Thabanchu as deputy secretary.Slates for female candidates Rosho and Mosenogi are not yet known.

The organisation has said that the troops also razed 12 homes, looted and destroyed health facilities, arbitrarily detained at least 26 people, and are presumed to have forcibly disappeared up to 17 other people. Both Cameroonian security forces and armed separatist groups have committed serious human rights abuses but have faced limited or no consequences. Impunity remains a key driver of the crisis, emboldening abusers, and fueling further harm and violence HRW said. Since 2016, Cameroon's English-speaking regions have been in the throes of a political and security crisis between armed separatist groups seeking independence for their self-proclaimed state of Ambazonia, comprising the North-West and South-West regions, and the Cameroonian security forces. The violence has caused approximately 6,000 deaths and a major humanitarian crisis, with almost 600,000 people internally displaced within the Anglophone and neighbouring regions, and over 77,000 forced to become refugees in Nigeria.
