ANC Boland secretary Jonton Snyman has been kicked out of the party following a disciplinary process over numerous complaints, barely a month after he was elected to the position in July.
Yesterday, ANC deputy provincial chairman Khaya Magaxa said a decision was taken to charge Snyman on August 14 for numerous acts of misconduct.
These included:
l That he had been convicted of a financial crime without informing the ANC.
l Behaving in a manner which brought the ANC into disrepute.
l Undermining the respect for, and impeding the functioning of any structure or committee of the ANC.
l Prejudicing the integrity of the ANC.
In a Facebook message, Snyman said that while he respected the ANC, he would appeal the finding.
“I respect the outcome of the ANC PDC Western Cape as a disciplined member of the ANC. I therefore will follow due process as per the ANC constitution and appeal on the matter (sic),” said Snyman.
The ANC found that Snyman had been dishonest about the fact that he had been convicted of fraud in the Worcester Magistrate’s Court last October.
And for failing to inform the party of his criminal conviction while standing for a leadership position.
For this the party found that Snyman had brought it into disrepute.
In terms of the ANC’s disciplinary procedures, Snyman has 21 days to appeal.
Magaxa said: “The PDC wishes to reiterate that ANC members are expected to act honestly at all times as obliged by the ANC constitution. In this particular matter the image of the ANC was brought into disrepute, which could have been avoided. Therefore the PDC will at all times act swiftly on any matter where the ANC is brought into disrepute.”
