Reading Time: < 1 minute

The quarantined votes of disgruntled African National Congress (ANC) Ekhuruleni branch members have landed the party in a brewing legal battle.

Five disgruntled ANC branches have written to the mother body to include and count the votes of its delegates to the Ekhuruleni regional conference.

The branches have given ANC Treasurer Paul Mashatile until Friday to respond adequately or else they will proceed to court.

Nineteen votes of the six branches were quarantined forcing organisers to announce preliminary results of the election of the Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson and Deputy Secretary.

They were however not declared  until the National Dispute Resolution Committee verifies them.
