The African National Congress (ANC) has unveiled stringent criteria for its public representatives who will serve in Parliament and the nine provincial legislatures following the 2024 national elections. The nomination process for ANC candidates has been extended until mid-next month due to challenges faced in convening branch meetings for candidate nominations.
Livhuwani Matsila, the chief secretary of the party’s Electoral Committee, revealed that the ANC has established minimum qualifications for all candidates, requiring at least a matriculation certificate.
Matsila emphasized that candidates must have a clean legal record to be considered. This means that individuals with a criminal record will not be included in the candidate list.
Additionally, members who have faced disciplinary action by ANC committees and had their membership suspended within the past ten years will be ineligible to participate in the nomination process.
