Newsletter| The ANC has diffused the row over controversial candidates in its election list, albeit temporarily, by pushing the discussion to after the elections, with critics within the party vowing to confront the matter head-on soon after the polls
This has shut the door on the push to have an emergency national executive committee meeting before the elections to process a recent damning integrity committee report recommending that 22 candidates step aside, including Deputy President David Mabuza and ANC chairperson Gwede Mantashe.
ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile told our sister publication News24 last week that the issues raised by the integrity committee would be placed on hold until after the elections. Last week integrity committee head George Mashamba told City Press the committee had concluded its process and handed over the report to the top six.A party NEC member said the integrity committee report was a hot potato and even the party’s big guns were doing everything to bury it because it hit right at the top.
“We are confident that even if the outcome of the integrity commission can be given to us after the election those people will be removed,” said the insider.
