ANC has withdrawn its leave to appeal the Eastern Cape elective conference

# The ANC has formally withdrawn its application for leave to appeal a court interdict that stopped its 10th elective conference in the Eastern Cape. Three Buffalo City members approached the courts to stop the conference on the eve of its sitting, arguing that the conference was in breach of both the ANC constitution and Section 19 of the Constitution. The ANC says the withdrawal follows the receipt of the learned Judge’s formal reasons for the interim order and was taken on the considered advice of the legal team.
