SABC News reports that the Mpumalanga High Court in Mbombela has reserved judgment on an application brought forward by National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) Ehlanzeni Region members, to invalidate the list of the union members that are set to represent the region in the upcoming provincial congress.
They have argued that the regional secretary did not consult the members before compiling the list and that there had not been a formal meeting to nominate and elect their preferred representatives. The decision has been reserved to later this week by Acting Judge Lungile Bhengu. “Ehlanzeni is the biggest region in the province that submits a huge number of delegates in the congress. If we continue in the state where we are; where names are submitted without the endorsement of the regional executive committee that says Ehlanzeni will not have the voice because the people who are going to represent Ehlanzeni will not have a mandate from us so that they speak to the issue of our preferred leadership in the province,” explained regional committee member Selby Mabele.
Meanwhile, Nehawu provincial secretary, Welcome Mnisi said these issues were normal during congress sittings and planning.
