ANC WC says it stands by its decision to remove SACP’s Ngqentsu
ANC in the Western Cape says it stands by its decision to remove SACP's Benson Ngqentsu.
The African National Congress (ANC) in the Western Cape maintains its stance on the removal of South African Communist Party (SACP) Provincial Secretary Benson Ngqentsu from the Western Cape Legislature. Ngqentsu, alongside two other SACP councillors from the Southern Cape and Overberg regions, were dismissed due to allegations of joining an unspecified political party.
The SACP has stated it will formalize court papers to challenge the decision if the ANC does not reverse it. The ANC has replaced Ngqentsu with the next person on the list, Pat Marran, who currently sits in the provincial legislature. Additionally, the ANC has informed the municipalities where the other dismissed councillors are based, and they have been replaced as well. Jerimia Thuynsma, the ANC Provincial Convener, clarifies this information.
