No joy for trio who complained too late about exclusion from ANC's Free State 'list'

Their application was opposed by the ANC and the party's Free State provincial executive committee , which said the matter was not urgent.

The three said they were nominated by more than 10 ANC branches and placed on the ballot papers to be voted by delegates in the list conference to go to the provincial legislature.The three also said that delegates, whose branches did not hold branch general meetings because there were not enough members in their branches to form a quorum, among others, attended the list conference and voted.

The three said they approached the court at the last minute after their pleas for ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa, its secretary-general Ace Magashule and his deputy Jessie Duarte to resolve the matter fell on deaf ears.She said the three knew from March 13 that the ANC published its final list of candidates for the national assembly and provincial legislatures.

She said it was incumbent on the three to file their application as soon as the final list of candidates was made known."We will file through normal procedures and wait till we are given a date by the court," he said.
