Carl Niehaus will this weekend start campaigning for the ANC ahead of the November 1 local government elections after the party reinstated his membership.
This after the party’s acting secretary-general Jessie Duarte informed him, through a letter TimesLIVE has seen, that the suspension of his membership has lapsed since the party failed to bring charges against him.
He was also accused of bringing the party into disrepute for insisting on addressing the crowd, as MKMVA spokesperson, outside former president Jacob Zuma’s home before his incarceration. “The ANC constitution sets out very specifically in rule 25.65 that a temporary suspension shall lapse if a notice of a charge is not delivered to a member within 30 days from the date of commencement of the temporary suspension,” Duarte wrote to Niehaus on Tuesday.Niehaus welcomed the news of his membership reinstatement, telling TimesLIVE he will hit the ground running to begin campaigning for the ANC.
He said he will focus on fighting his dismissal from Luthuli House earlier this month, where he was employed in the secretary-general’s office.
