ANC secretary general Ace Magashule says Zizi Kodwa and Pule Mabe both requested that they be relieved of their spokesperson positions.
Duarte said the party had advised the woman to approach the police with her complaint.
"The advice we've given the complainant is that she needs to go to the criminal justice system with her complaint," Duarte said.He described it as a"dirty tricks campaign" aimed at"political blackmail and manipulation".The matter was heard by a grievance panel and Mabe was subsequently cleared of all charges.
