ANC to appeal Makhanda High Court ruling on Eastern Cape PTT

ANC petitions SCA after Makhanda High Court dissolved the Eastern Cape provincial task team.

The African National Congress (ANC) has announced its intention to appeal a recent High Court ruling in Makhanda, Eastern Cape, concerning the dissolution of the Provincial Task Team (PTT). The party's Secretary General, Fikile Mbalula, had announced the formation of the PTT, but it was subsequently dismissed by the High Court. Dissatisfied members argued that the establishment of the PTT did not comply with the party's Constitution.

Lwazi Rotya, one of those responding to the ruling, expressed skepticism about the success of the appeal, stating that their case is strong because the processes were followed and guidelines were not adhered to. Despite the potential outcome, Rotya remains concerned about the ANC's tendency to challenge court judgments, particularly when it comes to decisions involving the funding from the party's membership.
