Johannesburg - The ANC in Joburg has vowed to investigate claims that rival leaders in Roodepoort on the West Rand have filed an incitement of violence charge against their branch secretary in a bid to eliminate him as a party’s candidate for the upcoming local government elections.
Tabane made a brief appearance in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Monday where he was charged with incitement. Ward 127 comprises areas of Durban Deep, Leratong, Sol Plaatje and sections of Tshepisong township in the Roodepoort district.He was ordered to remain in custody for seven days before he could be allowed to apply for bail.
“They fabricated lies against comrade Keke Tabane. There have never been incidents of looting in our area. It is strange that the very people who laid charges against him are the very same who accused him of defending white monopoly capital.
