Supra’s challenge against NEC struck off the roll
The High Court in Johannesburg has struck off the roll a challenge by a group of ANC members, including former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo, against the disbandment of the province’s provincial executive committee (PEC).
The ANC’s national executive committee (NEC) earlier this year decided to strip Mahumapelo and the PEC of their powers and installed a task team led by now premier Job Mokgoro.
The court upheld the NEC’s decision.
Mahumapelo was part of the task team but he and four other ANC members took the NEC to court over what they said was a procedurally flawed process that violated the ANC’s constitution.
The ANC leadership defended the decision in court.
The NEC is the highest decision-making body of the ANC between conferences. – Citizen reporter
