12 ANC members face suspension
By Staff Reporter
WILLEM PHUNGULA
DURBAN - TWELVE members of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal who are facing criminal charges, but had defied the partyâs call to voluntarily step aside, are expected to be suspended on Monday. The party gave all of them until on Monday to step aside or be suspended from the party.
ANC provincial spokesperson Nhlakanipho Ntombela told the Daily News on Sunday that the party had called these members to the provincial office during the week to discuss the issue but the final decision on the matter would be communicated to them and to the public after the partyâs provincial executive committee (PEC) meeting on Monday.
Hoax Tenders: Now eThekwini Municipality warns of fake email
eThekwini Municipality has urged people with any information about the hoax tender email to report it to the police for investigation.
Durban Solid Waste tenders are not for sale, the Ethekwini Municipality has warned local businesses, following a hoax email that has been circulating with information about fake tender advertisements for the department.
“The City would like to advise residents of a hoax email being circulated purporting to be from the Durban Cleansing and Solid Waste (DSW) Unit,” eThekwini Municipality said in a statement on Wednesday.
“This is a fake tender advertisement with the following contract numbers: WS7373, WS7374, WS7375, WS7376 and WS7377. The City distances itself from this fake tender email and warns the public not to fall victim to the scam,” the eThekwini Municipality warned.
Implementation of step aside resolution delayed as ANC waits for NEC s nod
Share
Durban - The ANC s step aside resolution which has been in the making since August last year has been delayed once again pending one more last nod.
This time around, the resolution – which compels party leaders and senior members accused of wrongdoing and already criminally charged to step aside – needs the approval of the party’s national executive committee (NEC) and this is likely to delay the implementation process by at least a week.
This comes as the list of leaders who have to step aside, as submitted by the nine provinces, are yet to go through the national working committee (NWC) and later to the NEC for the very last ratification.

Although Ntuli did not reveal the names and the alleged offences of the members, it is understood that some of them face charges of rape, murder, corruption, attempted murder, stock theft, theft, driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal carrying of firearms and charges relating to fraudulently earning child support grants.
