ANC member Tony Yengeni has won his appeal to be eligible to stand in for a high-ranking position at the party’s 55th elective conference this weekend.
Yengeni was served with a letter last week disqualifying him from contesting the National Executive Committee (NEC) due to his fraud conviction.
The elective committee chairperson, Kgalema Motlanthe, found that his criminal record did not exist, having being expunged in terms of the law.
“We therefore wish to confirm that you are no longer disqualified from being a candidate for the NEC position during the 55th national conference of the ANC to take place on 16-20 December 2022,” said Motlantle in a letter.
