JUST IN:
Possible Contempt of Court Proceedings loading against the ANC in relation to the now loading announcement of the New Provincial Task Team (PTT) in the Eastern Cape.
A cease & desist has been dispatched to Khongi!
Simply put, ANC can’t announce a new PTT without dissolving the PEC!
Salient parts:
We write to place you on terms regarding the following pertinent points of law:
6.1. It is illegal and unconstitutional for anyone to appoint a PTT without dissolving the PEC.
6.2. The PEC may not be dissolved without reason and without a fair and lawful process being followed. We are not aware of any reason for a dissolution or any procedure followed before any dissolution decision could be taken.
6.3. The mere fact that the PEC's term of office has lapsed does not mean that it must be dissolved. As a matter of law, it is entitled to remain in office until the election of a new PEC, unless lawfully dissolved after a fair and proper process has been followed.
6.4. The NEC has the final say in both the decision to dissolve a PEC and the appointment of a PTT, including the identification of the persons to constitute the structure.
If there is a failure to reverse the decision, our client wil approach the High Court for an interdict against the instaltion of the alleged PTT.
Each individual members of the PTT will be cited and costs orders will be sought against anyone opposing the application.
