Arguments are continuing in the High Court in Johannesburg, where Advocate Dali Mpofu is representing disgruntled ANC members requesting the the court to stop the party’s provincial conference in Limpopo.
The disgruntled group claims that processes leading up to the conference were flawed and that the ANC’s provincial executive committee is illegitimate.
The conference began in Polokwane in the early hours of Saturday morning. A new appeal by ANC leaders to members not to use the courts to resolve internal party problems, failed to prevent the disgruntled group in Limpopo from going ahead with their court action. Here is part of Mpofu’s argument in court.
Meanwhile, ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has lambasted disgruntled ANC branch members in Limpopo who approached the High Court in Johannesburg to have the provincial conference be postponed.
” There are many heroes and heroines who are not known even today who are even better than us as leadership. The fact that they are not elected doesn’t mean that we are better leaders. Because leadership is not about status, leadership is about working hard is not about sitting in your offices and being comfortable, its about serving the branches of the ANC.”
