The ANC in the Eastern Cape has welcomed high court judge Igna Stretch's decision to rescind her last week's ruling that 37 branch general meetings held in the ANC region of Dr WB Rubusana (Buffalo City) were unlawful.
A ruling that may have raised questions over the ANC leadership in the Eastern Cape was rescinded by the courts on Friday. On Tuesday, judge Igna Stretch ruled in the East London high court that about 40 branch general meetings held in the WB Rubusana region between February and March were unconstitutional.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found that Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane and Public Works MEC Babalo Madikizela improperly benefitted and in her remedial action, ordered that the matter be investigated by the Hawks.
