The Cope deputy president said Lekota was previously advised by the party’s national leadership on several occasions to step down due to his health and “lack of energy and strength” to lead the party.“Given his health conditions, he is not able to perform what the party and all South Africans expect him to do, which is to attend to the work of Parliament,” Madisha said.
“We instructed the general secretary to write a letter to him informing him about the resolutions that were adopted by the CNC. We have proof here that indeed the general secretary did do that.”He said Lekota would not be allowed to take part in the party’s activities until disciplinary proceedings against him were completed.
