Until the decision was made by the NEC at a special meeting on Monday, the integrity commission had been unable to look into the candidates on the ANC’s lists, as it worked according to a referral by the party's highest decision-making body between conferences. In terms of the criteria for objections to the Electoral Commission of SA , these candidates do still qualify to be public representatives.
In a statement on Tuesday, Magashule defended the processes the ANC went through to compile the lists for the National Assembly, the National Council of Provinces, and the provincial legislatures.
