ANC reinstates Eastern Cape PEC
Provincial ANC Chairperson Oscar Mabuyane called on party members to focus on the upcoming polls.
The African National Congress (ANC) in the Eastern Cape has temporarily reinstated its Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) while awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) on a legal dispute involving its Provincial Task Team (PTT). This decision was announced during a meeting convened by the party's Secretary-General, Fikile Mbalula.
The ANC had petitioned the SCA to overturn a High Court judgment in Makhanda that nullified the Provincial Task Team. A hearing for the matter is expected to take place next week.
Oscar Mabuyane, the Eastern Cape ANC Chairperson, has urged party members to concentrate on the upcoming local government elections. Mabuyane emphasized the importance of embracing the intervention aimed at strengthening the ANC's program for the elections. He stated, "I want everybody to embrace the intervention that is meant to help the ANC to move forward to try to strengthen our program for the elections.
We have got elections coming, let’s focus on elections. We are all volunteers of the ANC. We want to see people on the ground. People must be volunteers because they are leaders."
The interim order granting the reinstatement of the ANC Eastern Cape PEC against the task team was announced by the party.
