#ANCvsANC in FS High Court | News Article

An urgent application by a group of ANC members in the Free State, against the Provincial Executive Commitee started in the Free State High Court this afternoon.

 

Advocate Dali Mpofu, representing the 36 applicants, argued that the court should deal with the matter urgently, due to the looming National and Provincial Elective Conferences that are set to start in December. 

He argued that it is in the interest of justice and in public interest for the matter to be heard today. Mpofu further submitted that the applicants acted with the necessary speed, and that more then 300 people had to be consulted to compose the filling affidavit. 

The group of ANC members wants the court to dissolve the PEC, since their term was meant to expire months ago. It is the third application by members of the ANC against the party in the province, while similar cases have been brought in the Northern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.
