At the time, ANC integrity commission head George Mashamba confirmed that they met with Luthuli House where they wanted clarity on their powers to comment on the party’s lists.
Mashamba said they hoped they would be able to consider each matter properly before the deadline to submit the lists to the electoral commission .
A week later, the matter was discussed at the ANC’s national executive committee meeting - on February 17 - where sources said it was decided that people who have a mark against them should plead their case to the party’s top six who then decide whether they should be referred to the integrity commission.
It appeared that nothing came out of this and ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule did not write to those affected by allegations against them calling them to subject themselves to the integrity commission before the ANC list to parliament was finalised. By mid-March, the ANC had submitted its lists of candidates to the IEC with people implicated in corruption on that list.
Magashule at the time defended the list saying the ANC will not remove names of individuals from its list of candidates based on allegations.“You are talking about the people who have not been charged with any crime or offence. Why do you want to single out people because they are out there in the media with allegations?”
