The ANC in the Western Cape was still fine-tuning its list of councillor candidates just hours before the crucial IEC deadline for the process.
Kalako said their internal vetting processes led to some candidates being removed from the lists due to pending cases and other matters which have been identified by the integrity committee and the electoral committee.
“Of great concern to us were the arrests of the regional chairperson and current mayor Quinton Louw and the speaker of the Central Karoo district Mkhululi Hangana. “Obviously there have been some developments which now require some changes and those will be effected before 5pm today, which is the deadline that the IEC has set for the registration of candidates,” said Cameron Dugmore, the provincial head of elections.
“It is simply a question of dealing with some last-minute issues which have arisen and some corrections,” he said.
