News24 reports that the ANC Women's League in the North West insists its provincial leaders are indeed suspended, notwithstanding a media statement issued on Thursday which claimed that the suspensions were not lawful.
The league's provincial executive committee (PEC) placed its chairperson Fetsang Molosiwa, former provincial secretary Briget Tlhomelang and treasurer Manketse Tlhape on suspension last week. The three allegedly conspired to defraud the league by accessing the league's bank accounts without approval. Thursday’s statement issued by Molosiwa claimed that only the league's national executive committee had the authority to suspend leaders, not the PEC. On Friday, the league's acting provincial secretary, Bitsa Lenkopane, said the trio's suspension remained in place while a PEC investigation was underway. She stated: "The suspension requirements are very clear that you can no longer attend meetings, and your powers are withdrawn. They have also been served with another letter to warn them to refrain from creating confusion in public. You cannot be suspended and issue a statement. Even if you question your suspension, there are processes to raise the issue." The three suspended officials are expected to face disciplinary hearings before the league's PEC.
