ANC Western Cape 'ill discipline' criticised after conflicting Fransman statements
31 August 2016
Cape Town – A "caretaker" to the Western Cape ANC, appointed earlier in the year by the national executive committee (NEC), on Tuesday spoke out about confusion created by two conflicting statements from the party.
Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba said she had been made aware of a statement issued by the provincial secretary on Monday night, and a subsequent one by the former convenor of the ANC's provincial executive committee (PEC) sub-committee on media and communications.
She was assured that the statement issued in the name of secretary Faiez Jacobs was "factually correct and reflected accurately" the decisions of the PEC meeting on Sunday.
Jacobs's statement said the ANC wanted disciplinary procedures against its Western Cape chairperson Marius Fransman to be expedited, and that he be suspended pending the outcome.
