The ANC PEC has now extended their leave of absence to look into the party’s integrity commission’s report.
The ANC Provincial Secretary in Gauteng is Jacob Khawe says, “We are now starting to talk to their bosses for the implementation of that decision. We think it’s in the interest of the bosses that they allow this process to clear them so that when they come back, if they do, the boss doesn’t have to deal with other implications of this decision.”

The boss that we have not engaged with is the President, which we are doing this morning,” adds Khawe.
