Misconduct
ANC MP and former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo and acting ANC Women’s League secretary Bitsa Lenkopane have been found guilty of misconduct and were suspended from the ruling party for five years.
This comes after the North West convened a disciplinary disciplinary hearing earlier this week.
Mahumapelo and Lenkopane were suspended two weeks ago amid claims that they held a parallel rally metres away from one held by the party’s interim leadership committee (IPC) in Mareetsane six months ago. | Political Bureau

PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa appeared before the Zondo Commission this week.
He faced questions on why the ANC continued to accept donations from facilities management company Bosasa when the company had been implicated in corruption.
One of the instances was the company funding an ANC “war room” before the 2014 elections. This account was provided by former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi.
Evidence leader advocate Paul Pretorius quizzed Ramaphosa on how the ANC was not aware of the conflict of interest. | Political Bureau
