The ANC Western Cape PEC Lekgotla
Wednesday, 31 August 2016, at 13h00
I note the decision of the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) of the African National Congress in the Western Cape, “… that disciplinary procedures against the Chairperson, Comrade Marius Fransman, be expedited and that the caretakers should recommend to the National Executive Committee (NEC) that Comrade Marius be suspended until the conclusion of the disciplinary processes…”
This statement, issued on 29 August, confirms my position that I am not, in fact, suspended. I take note that the ANC Western Cape Secretary Faiez Jacobs have now publicly clarified that I am not suspended and thereby correcting and nullifying all his previous utterances stating the contrary.
Although this statement was refuted the next day, on 30 August, by PEC Provincial Head of Media and Communications Jabu Mfusi, with an apology to me for the harm and injury caused by the confusion, Western Cape NEC Caretaker Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba today confirmed Jacobs’s clear confirmation that I am not suspended by declaring publicly that the first statement, of 29 August, “was factually correct and reflected accurately the decisions of the PEC meeting held on 28 August.”
