ANC National Executive Committee member Andile Lungisa files urgent legal proceedings against the ANC and secretary general Fikile Mbalula, contesting his removal from the party’s Nelson Mandela Bay mayoral candidate list. The case is brought in the context of the upcoming local government elections on 4 November.
IOL reports that Lungisa seeks court intervention over what he argues is an incorrect or unlawful decision affecting his position on the candidate list. The outlet frames the matter as a direct dispute within the ANC’s internal processes, with Mbalula named as a respondent alongside the party. Other coverage from the same news source reiterates the thrust of the challenge, focusing on the decision to remove him and the timing of the action as urgent.
Across the cited reports, the core point of agreement is that Lungisa is taking legal action to challenge his omission, with the dispute centered on the ANC’s candidate list for Nelson Mandela Bay. The reports provide limited additional detail on the legal arguments or the ANC’s response in the excerpts provided.
