The ANC s national working committee has clarified confusion over the broadening of the scope of the ANC s step-aside policy.
It said that it has to do with those criminally charged.
The party has already released the guidelines for stepping aside with two weeks left for the 30 day ultimatum for those charged to step aside or face suspension.
The ANC s national working committee (NWC) has contradicted party secretary-general Ace Magashule who sought to broaden the scope of the party s step-aside policy to include anyone tainted by corruption.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the NWC said those criminally charged should step aside from their positions within the 30 day ultimatum as per the national executive committee (NEC) decision last month.
