Court rules Lungisa’s removal from ANC PR list is unconstitutional

The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has declared unconstitutional and unlawful the African National Congress's (ANC) decision to remove National Executive Committee member Andile Lungisa from its proportional representation (PR) candidate list for Nelson Mandela Bay. Lungisa had challenged his removal and sought his reinstatement as an ANC candidate. The court has invalidated the removal, making it of no force or effect, and has ordered the ANC to reinstate him on the list.
