JOHANNESBURG - Former African National Congress (ANC) member of Parliament Boy Mamabolo has been suspended from the party following a series of social media posts insulting fellow members.
On Thursday, Mamabolo used offensive language against ANC member and Defence Department spokesperson Onica Moloi, accusing her of sleeping around to advance within party ranks.
The ANC says Mamabolo’s public remarks have brought the organisation into disrepute.
The ANC in Limpopo is taking disciplinary action against former member of parliament Boy Mamabolo, saying his behavior is contrary to the party’s values.
Mamabolo has been summoned to appear before the party’s provincial disciplinary committee, but will remain suspended until the finalisation of his case.
ANC spokesperson in Limpopo Jimmy Machaka says the party has no choice but to call him to order.
"The ANC in Limpopo calls upon its members calls upon all its members and structures to desist from using social media platforms to put the organisation into disrepute."
Mamabolo has had a strained relationship with the ANC since he was removed from its candidate list for parliament before last year’s general elections.
The party removed him from its parliamentary list due to uncertainty about whether he holds a matric certificate.
Mambolo has, however, taken this issue to the courts, claiming he was unfairly removed from the candidate list.
