But acting ANC Spokesperson Dakota Legoete says the case is a waste of time as these members had enough time to raise their concerns with the ANC long before the list was sent to the IEC.

“We’ve received an application from members of the ANC in the Free State, who challenging the PEC List Conference. We will go to court with them to defend the case. Because as the National African Congress we are confident that court will help us. “The List processes in the province were held last year in December.
