Yengeni received a letter last week from the ANC's chairperson of the electoral committee, Kgalema Motlanthe, indicating that he was disqualified from standing for a position due to his criminal record.
JOHANNESBURG - Former Member of Parliament Tony Yengeni moved to appeal his disqualification from standing for a position in the upcoming African National Congress national elective conference.
The discount was organised by a representative of Daimler-Benz Aerospace, one of the bidders of the controversial multi-billion-rand arms deal that Yengeni oversaw at the time as the chairperson of Parliament's joint-standing committee on defence. Eyewitness News reached out to the justice department to verify this but has not received a response.
