ANC integrity commission recommends Bongani Bongo step aside amid corruption case
The ANC's integrity commission has recommended that MP Bongani Bongo, who stands accused of corruption, "step aside" from his ANC activities and positions, the party's integrity commission chairperson George Mashamba has confirmed.
This includes Bongo's deployment as a Member of Parliament.
The commission recommended that the national executive committee (NEC) instruct Bongo to step down until he has cleared his name, to restore the public's confidence in the ANC's position of zero tolerance against corruption, according to Business Day.
Mashamba confirmed the recommendation to News24 on Saturday.
The commission also recommended that the NEC rebuke Bongo and caution him against causing divisions within the party.
