A group of expelled ANC councillors in Mangaung, Free State, are planning to take on their former political party in the forthcoming by-elections under the banner Mangaung Seven.
Judge Pitso Molitsoane on Friday 23 June 2023 gave a ruling which confirmed an earlier court order by his colleague Judge Ilse van Rhyn when she gave an interim order in favour of the ANC in Mangau.
The acting Mangaung mayor told Eyewitness News that Magashule has been working hard to try divide the ANC as he seemingly recruits members in both his city and in the Free State for his reported new party.
