ANC Nomination Scandal in Moses Kotane | Johannesburg News
Description
Tensions are flaring in South Africa’s North West province as ANC branches in Moses Kotane accuse top party officials of rigging candidate lists for the November local elections. Focusing on acting regional secretary Thapelo Thoboke, they claim he’s manipulating nominations, forcing branches to back him, and even invalidating approved lists—like in Ward 30—and ordering new elections where he wasn’t initially nominated. The branches are demanding the nomination process be paused until an investigation clears up the alleged misconduct, while Thoboke says he’ll respond after consulting his lawyer. This internal power struggle threatens to shake the party’s credibility ahead of the vote.
