'The ANC has remained the greatest defender of the fundamental principle that the perpetrators must be held accountable for the killings of comrades.'
KZN ANC provincial secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli and provincial spokesperson Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu tell journalists in Durban that the ANC had decided that members charged with serious crimes should step aside pending the conclusion of their court cases.
Mahlaba, who has been charged with the assassination of ANCYL regional chair Wandile Ngubeni in 2016, has been remanded in custody until Monday next week after his appearance in the Newcastle magistrate's court on Monday. "This decision is inspired by a commitment and determination to defend and advance the interests of our movement and that of the masses of our people. It does not mean an acceptance of guilt nor to cast aspersions on the innocence of the accused members of the ANC," he said.
