Supra Mahumapelo in talks with ANC to find political solution to court challenge
30 January 2019
Former North West ANC chairperson and premier Supra Mahumapelo says he has entered into talks with his political party to map a way past a court challenge he’s brought against the ANC.
Mahumapelo and four others are challenging the ANC’s national executive committee's decision to disband his provincial executive committee. They claim the ANC’s highest decision making body in between conferences acted irrationally when it dissolved the provincial structure.
He confirmed to journalists, during a lunch adjournment at the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg where his matter is being heard, that he had called ANC secretary general Ace Magashule, seeking an audience over the matter. Mahumapelo, however, added that no solution had been reached yet.
"We are not there yet, if we get an undertaking from ANC leadership that all these matters we have raised will be attended to, post these processes, they will be investigated and some actions will be taken, he said.
