  "summary": "African National Congress (ANC) National Chairperson Gwede Mantashe has criticized National Executive Committee member Andile Lungisa for taking the issue of his removal from the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro candidate list to court. Mantashe, who is currently campaigning in Kariega in the Eastern Cape ahead of the local government elections in November, believes that such matters should be addressed within the party. He stated that Lungisa, being an ANC member, should take any issues he has with the organization directly to them, rather than taking them to court.",
