ANC FS members will 'taint' the national conference
Updated | By Jacaranda FM News
The High Court in Bloemfontein has heard that Free State delegates will taint the credibility of the African National Congress' (ANC) national conference if they are allowed to attend.

The applicants want all Free State delegates to be interdicted and arrested if they set foot in Johannesburg for the ANC's 54th national conference.
Legal representative of the disgruntled members, Dali Mpofu, pleaded with the court to not allow the questionable delegates to attend the elective conference as the "outcome of the conference will affect your and my children's future".

The members seek an order nullify the provincial conference where provincial chair Ace Magashule was re-elected; declare that the respondents - including Magashule and the African National Congress (ANC) - acted in contempt of the court order after an earlier ruling nullified the legitimacy of the Provincial Elective Council (PEC).
The 28 branches were ordered to rerun their General Branch Meetings (BGM) in a constitutional manner, but Mpofu said this did not take place.
Mpofu believes the delegates cannot attend the conference because "those branches who did not comply with court order, spoil the whole potato bag".

"The unlawful delegates were elected by the same process the court found to be fatally tainted by irregularities. It would be absurd to allow these delegates to attend.
"My Lord, it is not as if they were told that they couldn't attend an elective conference. They had to follow certain measures but didn't. Hence the outcomes of the provincial elective conference must be nullified."

Mpofu suggested that if the questionable delegates do attend the conference, it will taint the entire process.
