ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said the ruling party will file an urgent application in the Electoral Court, asking it to force the IEC to accept those candidates who were excluded.

She said adding to their troubles was that the IEC system kept on freezing, which resulted in some of their candidates not being able to meet the 9pm IEC deadline for registration.

Duarte was, however, quick to reject EFF’s leader Julius Malema’s remarks on Wednesday, when he accused the IEC of having extended the registration deadline from 5pm to 9pm, to specifically allow for the ANC to register its candidates. She also reacted to ongoing disputes about the manipulation of candidates lists, which led to a number of her party branches marching to Luthuli House and various provincial headquarters, to express their dismay at how the ANC handled the nomination of candidates.

According to Duarte, the ANC’s electoral body – under former president Kgalema Motlanthe – is due to sit on Friday to resolve some of their disputes brought to their attention. Earlier, the IEC revealed on Tuesday that only two political parties have registered to contest for 10 285 municipal council seats in 257 municipalities, but declined to reveal their names.Political Bureau

Court must throw away that request

What a joke!!!!

Forced🤔

In fact MYANC candidates must boycott elections if other candidates are not added, injury to one is injury to all. Amandla comrades 🤣😂

The resultant effect of engaging in needless fighting and purging your own comrades. Branches must act fast and reclaim the soul of hhe party. The ANC of yesteryear is gone. Gone for good.

Force,is this how we do things now. Oh yes it's the ANC

They had all the time to select their candidates, EC must throw away that case with costs, such incompetence belong to the recycle bin

MYANC use the money to pay staff...

Banna let's save all this money and pay workers.

I smell brown envelopes floating around in the near future, if they haven't already, I know of a certain individual who pays for everything, even leadership & elections...

The amount of money the ANC wastes on lawyers because of the stupid things they do (or rather, don't do timeously) is mind blowing!! I'd be pretty pissed if I was one of those unpaid employees.

Maybe the candidates list has been destroyed by floods. MzwaneleManyi, ANCDSGDuarte MYANC . Who knows.

The process was open for 3 weeks. The only problem is infighting and factions within ANC that led them to this situation. The IEC must not entertain this. Soon they will say less people voted,we need to vote again. The IEC timetable cannot be reversed.

ANC must pay salaries first before filling anything in court 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 where do they even get the money to pay lawyers 👀👀👀👀

ANC leaders are so incompetent, they had all the time to submit all candidates. Why are the only party has excluded leaders

The courts and IEC should just say.. VoetsekANC VoetsekDuarte

CapeIndependence is coming

Did she start drinking

They never have understood rules.

Zikhala ngempela ke manje

And we all know that the courts are in your favour

ANC MUST SAY NO TO COALITION GOVERNMENT That was and still is the Behind the Scenes Parasitic Scavenging Plan of The EFF-RET-ATM Black Racists Cult Groups They had planted their Anacondas in very Strategic Positions of Influence and Power to Derail the ANC Ramaphosa Leadership

Then we will file urgent application to oppose their application. Late is Late and no court can interfere with IEC rules they had ample time to submit you don't submit 2 minutes before deadline the systems automatically cut you off past deadline tell her that.

EFFSouthAfrica will oppose the the ANCParliament approach to electoral court for extention for Registration for Election2021 localgovernmentelections. This fools are not organized. It's going to cuz instability after election if IECSouthAfrica granted Anc request.

There was a press conference on the date of the registration deadline and the Anc announced that they've submitted their list and they are ready for the elections. The Anc is mad

You had several years to sort this out! IEC should just say sorry, too bad.

Working with a very small new party, Makana Citizens Front. We nominated in 13 out of 14 wards. The difference? We are not at war with ourselves.

They don't have money for poor working staff but have money to finance court applications 😂😂😂 ThumaMina

MYANC wants to smuggle more looting hyenas on the ballot paper
