Gauteng regions to call for a review of ANC step-aside rule at this weekend’s conference - The party’s branches in the province are unhappy with what they perceive as the selective application of the rule.
regional secretary Nathi Xulu has successfully lobbied other regions, with a forum of secretaries and chairs of all 11 regions expected to discuss who would be best placed to advance this agenda as the provincial chair.
The ANC’s Johannesburg region is also of the view that there needs to be clearer understanding of the guidelines on the rule, which currently stipulates that those charged with serious crimes must step aside from their positions and those facing minor charges must be hauled before the integrity committee.
Secretary general Ace Magashule was suspended when he refused to step aside after he was charged with fraud, corruption and money laundering in the asbestos roof scandal in the Free State. Matjila said there would be discussions with other regions in Gauteng and in other provinces that have the same perspective, before the ANC holds its national conference in December.
