The eight - supporters of Jacob Zuma and Ace Magashule, and led by Onica Maphisa - have denied they are funded as part of a fightback strategy by the so-called RET faction.

The court had no right to pronounce on the CR17 matter, they overreached.

Our [ANC] constitution cannot be defined by a court of law because it was not drafted in a court of law,” she charged.
