ANC’s NGC resolutions will close down the democratic space
The problematic resolutions adopted by the ANC at its National General Council (NGC) this weekend are indicative of a party in rapid decline and desperately trying to hold onto power by eroding South Africa's hard-won freedoms.
Some of the problematic resolutions include requesting Parliament to conduct an inquiry on the "feasibility" of a Media Appeals Tribunal; withdrawing South Africa from the International Criminal Court (ICC); and reducing the number of provinces.
If any of these resolutions make their way to Parliament, the DA will use all available avenues to oppose them, including considering legal action.
It is our duty to defend South Africa’s Constitution, and the principles enshrined in it, against attack.
