Misconduct: ANC expels member, suspends 5

THE ANC-Gauteng Provincial Disciplinary Committee (PDC), which on Monday found six of its members in the Ekurhuleni and Tshwane regions guilty of misconduct has expelled one of the offenders and suspended five.

The ANC said the members were found guilty of disrupting meetings; sowing disunity and divisions and undermining the structures of the party.

These acts of misconduct were committed during the Branch General Meetings (BGMs) held last year to prepare for the ANC’s 54th National Conference that took place last December.

The PDC meted out sanctions that included the expulsion of a member in Ekurhuleni and the suspension of the membership of the other five members for two, three and five years, read a statement issued by Dr Ismail Vadi, chairperson of the ANC Gauteng PDC.

Vadi said that given the serious nature of the offences the PDC had expelled WEDNESDAY APRIL 18 2018 Thabang “Mashiane” Nkani, of Ward 70 and suspended Johannes Setsoma of Ward 68 and Victor Malefane for three years. Joseph Rammela, of Ward 68, was also suspended for three years while Phumzile Masuku, also from Ward 68, was suspended for two years.

Eugene “Bonzo” Modise, from Ward 21 , has been suspended for five years.

Vadi said “these members have the right within 21 days to appeal against the rulings”. – African News Agency (ANA)
