The ANC in KZN is looking at asking more than 10 provincial leaders to step aside from their work and party activities until they have been cleared by the courts or the Integrity Commission.

The provincial executive committee kicked off its monthly meeting Sunday, ratifying a list of the members presented to it by the provincial working committee , which had met earlier in the weekend.

It is not clear when the George Mashamba chaired commission would start summoning members. Efforts to get clarity from ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe were unsuccessful. They were arrested in December last year after the State alleged that they received kickbacks after manipulating waste collection tenders in their wards.

Provincial spokesperson Nhlakanipho Ntombela confirmed that the issue of members who are supposed to appear before the integrity commission and those to step aside would be finalised in the coming days. “For example, there was a comrade from uThukela who had a pending court case but, on Friday, he was acquitted. That meant we had to amend the draft report accordingly,” he said.

The probe was commissioned after an anonymous letter circulated online alleging that Sibiya made a woman pregnant and later forced her to have an abortion.
