The ANC has come out guns blazing to its members who want to become members of parliament unconstitutionally. The party through their spokesman, has declared that it’s not compulsory for its members to be elected to parliament.
According to reports, Ponami Makhubele, a provincial executive committee member in Limpopo wrote an application letter requesting the High Court in Pretoria to declare the decision to remove her name from the list of candidates for members of parliament unconstitutional.
The acting ANC national spokesperson Dakota Legoete said, “others even think that being an MP or an MPL (member of the provincial legislature) is a birthright and it’s not true,”
“This is a process or the internal democracy of the ANC. All of us if we make it, it will be understood. If we can’t make it, we will still have an opportunity to do something else.”
