Mamabolo maintains his qualifications and asserts his removal from the list would adversely affect his children.
According to City Press , there is a possibility that the ANC may also initiate disciplinary proceedings against him, the report said.
An ANC insider informed the publication that the party is displeased with Mamabolo for resorting to legal action before fully utilizing internal party procedures.
“There was a window period for aggrieved members to appeal their case within the party, which he did not do, till two weeks ago when the list was submitted. He then decided to go to court, which is against the party rules,” the source was quoted as saying.
