Leadership of the ANC Western Cape
25 July 2016
I have answered the call of the ANC, structures on the ground in the Western Cape, and sectors in our society, on July 21, in the presence of the president of the ANC, and of Western Cape ANC officials, that I resume my duties and responsibilities as the duly elected ANC Western Cape leader, by actively participating in canvassing events since Thursday last.
I was backed in my efforts by enormous grass roots support.
I am freshly arrived from the West Coast where I have supported the Cederberg mayoral candidate, and the Vanrhynsdorp ward candidate – the provincial Popcru chair, before hundreds of supporters.
Having expended every possible comradely option to ensure that the time honoured ANC ethos is preserved and promoted in the ongoing consideration of an harassment acusal against me, a media statement earlier today, by Secretary General Gwede Mantashe, forced me to defer to the injunction of my legal team to ensure compliance by approaching the Western Cape High Court today to ensure that I receive the Integrity Commission report and to secure my constitutional rights to fair procedure.
