12 December 2017
Johannesburg – ANC presidential hopeful Mathews Phosa has withdrawn the urgency of a court interdict which sought to stop Mpumalanga branches that nominated "unity" for the ANC's top six positions from attending the party's national elective conference on Saturday.
"I am happy to announce parties have managed to find each other," Advocate Dali Mpofu SC, for the applicant, told Judge Edwin Molahlehi, who was presiding over the matter in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
Mpofu said the parties had held a meeting on Monday and had agreed to hold internal discussions.
He did not want to divulge what was discussed during the meeting, but said parties had agreed to "seek each other within the internal structures".
