Frank Chikane denies that he has taken the ANC to court over the party’s Johannesburg mayoral candidacy. He says a report claiming he had launched legal action is “fake.”
Chikane also argues that people behind the allegation are trying to create divisions within the ANC ahead of local government elections. He presents his denial as a rebuttal to claims about his involvement in court proceedings related to the Johannesburg mayoral race.
Across the available reporting, the focus is on Chikane’s response to the allegation and his explanation for why it is being circulated. The sources provided do not detail any court filing, date, or specific legal grounds, and they instead center on whether Chikane acted in support of or against the ANC’s mayoral bid.
