The party is unhappy with Carl Niehaus over a press release in which he invited journalists to come witness him pressing charges of theft against the ANC’s top brass.
JOHANNESBURG - Controversial long-standing African National Congress member, Carl Niehaus, is back in the crosshairs of the party and this time, officials are threatening to terminate his employment contract on Thursday.
In a letter, which Eyewitness News has seen, from the ANC’s general manager, Febe Potgieter, Niehaus is given until Thursday afternoon to explain why he should not be dismissed. Niehaus has until this hour to convince the ANC that a statement issued on Wednesday night in his name, with his number on it, has nothing to do with him.
Niehaus already faces expulsion over comments that he made in defence of Zuma and suspended secretary-general, Ace Magashule.
