this is a banana republic bra, with Maungaung, we would loose many people before and after, it is a wealth fight here. Suma must just tell his allies to start a new business and forget about politics because in politics one minute count.

How can ANC or internal party policies be determined by the court of law because as far as I know people join and can leave the party voluntarily

PAPARAZ- Very true, politics is a dangerous business. But like they say here in the UK: if you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. But you should be thankful you dont live in Syria, or Egypt. SA politics are like a sunday school gathering compared with some countries.

Mdala- All parties in the world are governed by a constitutional court (with exception of dictatorships), to stop the very occurence in Parys, what I dont understand is, why did the CC leave it so late?? really, incompetence even run in the country's courts

Have you ever heard about the freedom of association? ANC policies are not governed by constitution of the republic it is an internal party policies therefore this disgruntled members could have exhausted all inetrnal chaneels within the party and if that fails then they can approach the law.

As things stand now the decision taken by CC won't overturn the conference that elected Ace Magashule so he will remain the chairman of the ANC (Freestate) until another elective conference is staged

Mdala- Parties have to submit their willingness to represent contituents in constitutional courts, mainly to prevent change of policies mid-way through election processes, and also to abide by a country's democratic constitution's guiding principles. Magashule will have to face the constitution judiciary if his election is to be legitimised, otherwise the entire Parys Process would be obsolete. I still dont understand why the CC left for so long

Honeybadger, it's honestly got me stumped. Here's a real branch, and then someone goes to open another branch with its own leaders, and they send delegates to a conference too, and suddenly 4 000 delegates become 8 000 delegates, and no one knows who's legit or not? Politics is too complicated for me nowadays. Or is it a way to just pick the 4 000 votes that suits your needs, and discard the rest as parallel, even if they were the legit ones?

Stomach polotics. Once u start buying or bribing people to vote for u, then there is problem. Its like u r voting for yourself. Nkosasana Dlamini is the only candidate to distroy the faction in the ANC. JZ or KM are condidates likely to distroy the ANC.

No seriously Sin, I need to find out about the fate of the 2 goats and 3 chickens, Dandan is not compliant though, I think I will bring the SPCA into the issue (lol). Dandan ought to be arrested for unlawful slaughter of innocent goats and chickens, or illegally transporting them over the border to Zim and offering them as presents to uncle Bob, without passports.

SA courts, leave the ANC alone. It is a voluntary Organisation. There is no point of taking ANC matters to court. If this disgruntled Freestate members think Ace was not correctly elected why they cannot wait for the next conference. They do not know ace, he will dribble past them.
