The ANC in the North West has suspended the membership of a councillor who is facing statutory rape charges for allegedly having a sexual liaison with a 14-year-old minor

City Press reported on Sunday that the North West provincial EFF leadership opened a case of statutory rape against the councillor on Thursday.

According to IPC spokesperson Kenny Morolong, committee officials resolved to suspend with immediate effect the membership of that councillor, in accordance with the ANC’s constitution“The ANC, as a leader of society, expects all its members, particularly its public representatives, to be at the forefront of the fight against the culture of rape, gender-based violence and patriarchy.

“We wish to condemn in the strongest terms possible the alleged repulsive incident which has not only disappointed us but also enraged us. It has come to light amid escalating incidents of gender-based violence threatening the safety of vulnerable women and children trapped in their homes with perpetrators owing to the state of health disaster lockdown,” Paul Sebegoe, Sanco provincial chairperson said.

ANC suspends North West councillor accused of statutory rapeIPC co-ordinator Hlomani Chauke said they noted with shock the arrest of their councillor and his appearance in the Klerksdorp Magistrate's Court, facing a charge of statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl. If you guilty then you guilty. It is always with ... 'Shock,' or with ... 'Surprise,' or ... 'Both,' when it comes to the ANC. We the public are neither shocked or surprised by the actions of the ANC any longer. Wait! I take that back ... if the ANC told the TRUTH or took responsibility, we certainly would be. Suspended. Slap on the wrist. To be deployed elsewhere in the near future.
