ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula was adamant on Monday that the ANC list — littered with candidates implicated in allegations of state capture and corruption — was “not set in stone.”
The ANC will use “surplus” candidates to shore up its list of MPs and MPLs to Parliament, should its integrity commission ask those implicated in allegations of corruption to step aside.
The party lists are a key factor said to be damaging the party’s prospects in the crucial general election taking place in a months time. “The ANC is determined to act on its lists… that will happen. The integrity commission will make a determination on such… the list is not cast in stone… if it [integrity commission] requires people to step aside, they must step aside,” he said.When told by journalists that the IEC is on record saying that political parties cannot amend their submitted lists, Mbalula repeated that the party list is not cast in stone.
