A Former Free State MEC claims the 41 ANC candidates were nominated unlawfully in an unconstitutional list conference on December 10.
Former Free State MEC for sports, arts and culture Dan Kgothule has asked a court to nullify the Free State ANC candidates list for the provincial legislature and the National Assembly.
The ANC in the Free State said it would oppose the application, and accused Kgothule and others of trying to destabilise the ANC to prevent it from contesting in the May 8 election. The trio also demanded that the ANC and the Free State ANC provincial executive committee reconvene branch general meetings no later than April 30 to nominate new candidates for the two legislatures, and organise a provincial list conference not later than May 6.
Monnapule Ntambo, a spokesperson for the disgruntled ANC members, questioned why some of Magashule’s opponents were removed and then reinstated on the lists.
