A special ANC national executive committee meeting called for Monday is expected to hear fierce calls for people implicated in corruption and state capture to step aside from the party’s lists to parliament for the sake of the party.
But the opposing side, loyal to ANC secretary general Ace Magashule, is expected to come armed with a counter-argument that accusations of corruption do not warrant removal from the lists.
ANC NEC members loyal to President Cyril Ramaphosa have argued that the lists do not support the president’s message to the electorate of the renewal of the party. In contrast, those who are known to be opposed to him say Ramaphosa’s supporters are using the list to purge those opposed to him. ANC spokesperson Dakota Legoete confirmed that a special NEC meeting had been called for Monday and the lists"will feature in the discussions".
