ANC structures have already started compiling lists of members who have been convicted and those facing criminal charges.
“Where there are no legal proceedings but there are issues the integrity committee feels may impact on the party, the test the committee uses is the Mangaung test of serious disrepute.” This seems a near-impossible predicament for the party. Instead, members are hoping that the state, through entities such as the National Prosecuting Authority, will speed up its cases. In the provinces, the dilemma continues. KwaZulu-Natal ANC provincial spokesperson Nhlakanipho Ntombela said officials had met with regional secretaries and chairs to discuss how to manage the process. They were also concerned about how to deal with issues of members who only face allegations, yet not charges.
“As Durban branches, we are critical of decisions that are difficult to administer and which might have unintended consequences, given that we are going to conferences and the high level of factionalism in the organisation,” Dube said. His view is that despite reports Ramaphosa has been strengthened, the president was “against the wall”.
“The ANC’s NEC took that decision. It was not the chief whip. If an MP deployed by the ANC resigns, their first port of call when tendering their resignation will be to the deploying authority, Luthuli House.” The legislature also said it does not keep any records of pending criminal charges against MPs. “The ethics disclosures focus on financial and other registrable interests. It does not require disclosures of pending criminal charges.
