JOHANNESBURG - ANC deputy president David Mabuza has requested the party to postpone his swearing-in as an MP.
This is in light of a report by the ANC Integrity Commission in which he is alleged to have prejudiced the integrity of the ANC and brought the organisation into disrepute.
The ANC released a statement, saying Mabuza postponed his swearing-in as a member of the National Assembly out of respect for the ANC’s institutions and processes.
ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa said in a statement that the party commends Mabuza for the stance he has taken.
"I personally applaud his resolve to put the interests of the ANC first," said Ramaphosa.
