ANC - African National Congress

Tune in as ANC leaders and representatives engage across media platforms on the outcomes of the ANC Special #ANCNEC Meeting on the #Section89 process. #RamaphosaStays

Today, the ANC Secretariat is convening to assess progress reports from provinces on ward delimitation and candidate selection processes as part of the movement’s preparations for the 2026 Local Government Elections.

The ANC remains firmly committed to constitutional democracy, the supremacy of the Constitution and the authority of the Constitutional Court as the ultimate guardian of our constitutional order. We respect and remain committed to upholding the #Section89 judgment and the constitutional processes that flow from it.

Today ANC Secretary-General Cde Fikile Mbalula briefed members of the media on the outcomes of the ANC NEC special sitting following deliberations on the Constitutional Court judgement relating to the #Section89 process. The NEC reaffirmed its full support for President Cyril Ramaphosa and resolved that the parliamentary and legal processes must be allowed to run their course in line with the Constitution and the rule of law. #RamaphosaStays #ANCMediaBriefing

#ANCMediaBriefing The judgment of the Constitutional Court does not interrupt the work of the State. The judgment of the Constitutional Court does not interrupt the work of the branches. The judgment of the Constitutional Court does not interrupt the work of the Government of National Unity. The parliamentary process that the judgment has activated will run its course. #RamaphosaStays #Section89Matter

#ANCMediaBriefing The President's mandate from the people of South Africa, given through the ballot, is a mandate to do the work of the State. That mandate is intact. The President will continue to do the work of the State on behalf of the people who entrusted him with that mandate. #RamaphosaStays #Section89Matter

The #ANCNEC, in the meeting that has just risen, did not consider and was not asked to consider; the recall of the President of the ANC. Resignation was not on the table. None of those matters were on the table. The #ANCNEC reaffirmed, in clear and unambiguous terms, its full and continuing support for the President of the ANC, Comrade Cyril Ramaphosa, as the leader of this movement and, in that capacity, as the leader of the Government of National Unity. #RamaphosaStays #Section89Matter

#ANCMediaBriefing After receiving and carefully considering the senior counsel opinion, the National Officials have recorded our unanimous support for the President's decision to lodge that review application in the High Court at Pretoria, accompanied by any other legal procedures as his lawyers may advise. The National Executive Committee has, this evening, endorsed that approach unanimously #RamaphosaStays #Section89Matter

#ANCMediaBriefing| The next operative step under the Rules of the National Assembly is the work of the Subcommittee on Review of National Assembly Rules. That Subcommittee must: 1. In the first instance, draft a new and permanent Rule 129i that gives effect to the judgment. 2. The Rules Committee will then consider that draft. 3. The House will then adopt it. 4. The Speaker of the National Assembly, the Honorable Thoko Didiza, will then programme the further steps. #RamaphosaStays #Section89Matter

#ANCMediaBriefing The Constitutional Court did not order an impeachment trial of the President. The Court did not find the President guilty of anything. The Court did not direct that the President be removed from office. Constitution. eThe Court did not endorse the findings of the Section 89 Independent Panel. #RamaphosaStays #Section89Matter

#ANCMediaBriefing The National Officials of the ANC have, over the past three days, met to consider the judgment of the Constitutional Court in detail. We received the considered opinion of senior counsel. We tabled a Report to the #ANCNEC. The NEC has met in Cape Town, has considered our Report, and has just risen with its decisions. #Section89Matter #YearOfDecisiveAction
