JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress is facing more controversy over its lists of candidates for Parliament and provincial legislatures.
A group of ANC members from the North West has served the party with a lawyer's letter, giving it until Monday to correct what they say are "serious irregularities".
The group said among the discrepancies they’ve picked up on is that a number of candidates who were not voted for at the North West provincial list conference appear on the finalised document.One of the complainants Priscilla Williams said 40% of the names on the original list were tampered with while ANC guidelines only make provision for 10% of the contents to be altered.
