Ace Magashule Expelled from ANC by National Disciplinary Committee
The ANC National Disciplinary Committee has taken a significant decision to expel Ace Magashule from the African National Congress (ANC). This news was confirmed through a tweet by Fikile Mbalula, the ANC secretary.
ANC National Disciplinary Committee Deliberations
The National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) of the ANC, which is responsible for maintaining discipline within the party, convened to discuss the charges leveled against Ace Magashule, who served as the Secretary-General of the ANC.
Guilty Verdict and Violated Rules
“After careful consideration, the NDC found Ace Magashule guilty of contravening several rules stated in the ANC Constitution. These rules include Rule 25.17.12, Rule 25.17.3, Rule 12.1, and Rule 12.2.20.”
Opportunity for Defense
Following the guilty verdict, Ace Magashule was given a chance to present reasons to the NDC as to why he should not be expelled from the ANC. However, even after a period of seven days, Magashule failed to provide any representations to support his case.
Final Decision: Expulsion from ANC
As a result of Magashule’s failure to present a defense, the NDC confirmed his expulsion from the ANC. This decision is considered the ultimate and final sanction for his actions.
Public Announcement and ANC Constitution
“The ANC is making this statement public in accordance with paragraph 64 of Appendix 3 of the ANC Constitution. The party wants to ensure transparency and inform the public about the decision made by the NDC.“
