Despite the involvement of SACMCC in the party’s initial formation, the Sunday Times now reports that its secretary general has written an affidavit supporting this electoral court application challenging the party’s registration. It seems this is as a result of a dispute between members of the originally proposed party, to be called the ATC, and those that facilitated a change of direction that culminated in the ATM being registered.
Ngqulwana’s affidavit claims Zuma and Magashule were involved in “consultation sessions” leading to the formation of the party.It also claims that meetings were held over the proposed party with ANC KwaZulu-Natal chairperson Sihle Zikalala.
