Marah Louw on being listed as part of Hlaudi's political party: I never left the ANC'I never left the ANC. I am ANC through and through. I have had ANC stickers on my car. I have performed at rallies. I have walked with leaders. I have never hidden the fact that I am an ANC member...' Yhooo, then that means Hlaudi listed her without her consent, at number 2 nogal!!

Was she not aware that by agreeing to be on the list of ACM that meant a commitment to this party and not the ANC?
