Motlanthe says members hoping to contest the local government elections proclaimed for October 27 who face allegations of corruption and wrongdoing will not become the party's representatives.
Motlanthe, along with seven other members, was elected by the party's national executive committee to prescribe rules for the nomination of ANC candidates to serve as its representatives in both local and national government spheres.
Motlanthe said 3,200 branches, making up 80%, had completed their BGMs. Meanwhile, 800 remained outstanding, despite the August 4 deadline. These branches will now have until August 9 to complete their community processes in selection of candidates. The new rules stipulate that in every ward where the ANC has a presence, four candidates will be nominated and presented to the community. The final candidate will be the one with most votes among the nominees, after an open community vote by secret ballot.
Motlanthe emphasised that unethical, corrupt and immoral conduct, including the buying of votes or the use of money to influence the outcomes of the candidate selection process, was strictly prohibited.
