on allegations of trying to sabotage the party’s annual January 8 statement which was held in Mbombela in January.
He has been suspended for three years. Two of the years have been suspended on condition that he does not commit the same offence during his sanction.Msibi’s spokesperson Uhuru Mofokeng says the appeal comes after they realized that rule 25 of the ANC’s constitution has not been followed properly by the disciplinary committee of the party in the province.“Primarily, we feel that the ANC has rules which needs to be abided to.
Political science lecturer at the University of Mpumalanga, Khanya Vilakazi has described the suspended provincial ANC Treasurer’s appeal as political suicide. “The appeal itself might be warranted but I never met anyone or seen any outcome of the ANC, if you appeal a decision where it goes perfectly afterwards. When you look back on the biggest suspension of the Youth League, you will remember when Julius appealed, he got expelled. He is putting himself in a position where he might paint himself outside the ANC, he could have taken the three-year suspension and just wait outside politics within the province.
Vilakazi says Msibi’s future in government is at jeopardy because the ANC might expel him and he will be expected to vacate the MEC position.
