The appeal by ANC Youth League president Julius Malema and his executive to argue in mitigation of their suspensions was granted by the National Disciplinary Committtee of Appeals (NDCA) on Saturday.
“The matter will be referred back to the national disciplinary committee (NDC)... the hearing must be conducted within 14 days,” NDCA chairman Cyril Ramaphosa said.
The NDC last year found Malema guilty of provoking serious divisions in the league's parent body, the ANC, and bringing the organisation into disrepute.
Malema was suspended from the league for five years and told to vacate his position as president of the organisation.
Malema had said the league would send a team to Botswana to consolidate local opposition parties and help bring about regime change.
Charged with him were Shivambu, deputy president Ronald Lamola, treasurer general Pule Mabe, secretary general Sindiso Magaqa and deputy secretary general Kenetswe Mosenogi. - Sapa
