South Africa: ANC removes '20 plus people' from its party lists ahead of IEC deadline By News24
And the governing party, the ANC, is seemingly still scrambling to ensure its lists are up to standard.
“This was to check if guidelines were met in the process. A number of people had also been referred to engage with the top six,” Legoete told News24. When asked how many people had been removed from the list Legoete refused to commit to a number, only saying “20 plus people” had been affected. News24 also understands party members who were embroiled in the Nelson Mandela funeral money scandal in the Eastern Cape are some of those affected by the party’s decision.Lists from the embattled North West are going to be “politically managed”, said the party insider.
“But there was no way they were going to get that, to get 50% of their names added on the list as the names already there are democratically elected by members through a process they themselves participated in,” said the task team member.

They have prodded the ANC on policy, and made it more inviting for disaffected ANC members to join their ranks. In the meantime, the ANC seem to have caved in to two of the EFF’s main policy demands – that the Constitution be changed to effect land expropriation with compensation, and that the South African Reserve Bank be nationalised.
