The ANC has announced its decision to appeal the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria’s ruling that Supra Mahumapelo should return to his office and resume his responsibilities as ANC North West chairperson immediately.
Mahumapelo and four others approached the court on Tuesday (12 February) asking for the enforcement of the ruling to overturn the ANC NEC’s decision to disband the Provincial Executive Committee.
The ANC has said it accepted that its decision to disband the provincial structure was wrong according to the courts, but said it needed to challenge aspects of Kathree-Setiloane’s ruling regarding the NEC’s authority.
