More ANC legal woes as court application brought to dissolve Free State PEC
11 October 2017
Bloemfontein – The ANC is facing yet another court battle as two Free State members have made an urgent application to the Bloemfontein High Court to have the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) dissolved and chairperson Ace Magashule removed.
In the court application, which News24 has obtained, ANC members Mcebisi Bokwa and Lonwabo Dyi say that the PEC's term to hold office expired on May 12.
"They therefore no longer hold office and cannot perform any acts in their capacity as members of the PEC. They are still less entitled to act as PEC at present. They simply do not have the power or authority to do so," an affidavits states.
The members are asking for the National Executive Committee (NEC) to appoint an interim structure until the province's elective conference which will take place from December 1-3.
