The group is appealing the dismissal of their 2018 High Court challenge to have the PEC declared illegal and unconstitutional. The group alleges that the Branch General Meetings (BGMs) were illegally constituted because those who attended the Ilanga Estate conference were those from the nullified 2017 Nasrec delegation, which emanated from the Parys conference.

Whilst delivering a judgment in 2018, the High Court Judge Fouché Jordaan said he did not believe this group had a solid case against the PEC and believed that they made the court bid to score political points within their faction.

Former MEC for Public Works Sekhopi Malebo, who is part of this group, however, said even though Judge Jordaan dismissed their application he feels that the judge errored and that the SCA will deliver a different verdict.

OFM News previously reported that the group is challenging the elective conference where MEC of Police, Roads, and Transport, Sam Mashinini, was elected ANC Chairperson in the province, William Bulwane Deputy Chairperson, and Paseka Nompondo the Secretary. 

The Supreme Court of Appeal proceedings will be held virtually on Monday. Malebo further added that they have advised their people not to converge before the court in respect of lockdown regulations. In 2018, senior Advocate Dali Mpofu represented the group. But this time Malebo said the group has secured the services of one of the country's senior advocates, Adv. Wim Trengove, who will be representing them in the SCA.
