ANC bans Magashule from birthday celebrations
In an email, which City Press has seen, Ludere reprimanded the branch leadership for organising the activities and also inviting Magashule to take part, arguing that it was against the party’s policy.
“Your activity is inconsistent with the prescripts of the constitution of the ANC as adopted in the 54th national congress, in particular rule 25,” read the email.“Based on the decision of the national executive committee [NEC], your branch is directed to suspend the visit of comrade Ace Magashule scheduled for January 7,” said Ludere in the email.
On Thursday, NEC member Nomvula Mokonyane told the media that the party was unaware of any events involving Magashule.We postponed the event because we were instructed to suspend it by the ANC. We had no choice because we are disciplined members of the organisation, Mafela said he received the email at about 10pm on Thursday. He said they then got in touch with Magashule, who hadn’t yet arrived in Musina.The party’s NEC asked him to step aside until he had cleared his name, but he refused, forcing the party to suspend him from all activities.
