ANC Admits 252 Candidate ID Errors | Johannesburg News

The ANC admits to a major administrative blunder before local elections, with 252 incorrect ID numbers found in candidate lists — errors flagged internally from the start. Leadership calls it a collective failure across multiple committees, refusing to blame individuals or name staff. They’re urging anyone with evidence of wrongdoing to come forward but vow not to use employees as shields.

The Eastern Cape list is under separate forensic review, while legal battles over six councils continue. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
