The announcement is being made pursuant of the ANC constitution that requires that a public announcement of the outcome of the disciplinary proceeding be made. The detailed finding is in a separate document entitled “NDCA Finding”. The purpose of this media conference is to announce the outcome of the appeal process involving comrades Julius Malema, Ronald Lamola, Pule Mabe, Sindiso Magaqa, Kenetswe Mosenogi and Floyd Shivambu.

The NDCA wishes to record at the outset that the ANC is a voluntary political organisation and the oldest liberation movement in Africa. The relationship between the ANC and its members has helped to shape the character of the ANC to ensure, inter alia, that the ANC shall, in its composition and functioning, be democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and against any form of racial, tribalistic or ethnic exclusivism or chauvinism and prejudices within the context of respecting
the linguistic, cultural and religious diversity of its members.
