The ANC in North West is proceeding with disciplinary charges against its suspended provincial secretary Kabelo Mataboge.

ANC provincial spokesperson in North West Kenny Morolong said yesterday Mataboge had been formally charged by the provincial disciplinary committee.

However, he was unable to give the date for the disciplinary hearing against Mataboge. He said the matter was between Mataboge and the provincial disciplinary committee.

He did not disclose the nature of the charges. Mataboge was put on suspension shortly before the ANC’s national conference in Mangaung in December last year.

He was prevented from attending the conference because of the disciplinary action against him.

Before Mangaung Mataboge and provincial chairperson Supra Mahumapelo were at loggerheads over their support for Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe and President Jacob Zuma respectively.

Their differences spilled over into the nominations conference where the two leaders held parallel meetings in different venues in the province to nominate their preferred candidates to lead the ANC.

This led to an intervention by the ANC in Luthuli House which instructed the two parties to have one nominations conference.

Mahumapelo and Mataboge have not seen eye to eye for some time. The faction led by Mataboge suspended Mahumapelo a few months ago prompting the ANC’s national executive to intervene.
