The ANC has consolidated its step-aside rule and tightened loopholes that allow implicated members to run for election.
Following a special NEC meeting this weekend, the governing party resolved that any member who had stepped aside following an indictment to appear in court on any charge should not be allowed to stand for any party position.
The decision comes after Zandile Gumede and Mandla Msibi were elected in the ANC’s eThekwini region and Mpumalanga province, respectively.The party now says it should have provided clarity on whether those who have stepped aside from positions, could be nominated and elected to executive structures.Source
