TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TASK GIVEN TO THE
OFFICIALS TO PROVIDE A REPORT ON MEMEBRS OF THE ANC WHO ARE
CRIMINALLY CHARGED AND NEED TO STEP ASIDE – REV 2

INTRODUCTION

When considering the practical implementation of the decision of the NEC held from
31 to 2nd August, that the Officials’ of the ANC conduct and audit of outstanding
disciplinary and criminal case the National Officials need to do so with the following
rules embedded in the constitution of the ANC as well as resolutions relevant to the
task adopted at the 53rd and 54th conferences of the ANC.

RULE 25.70 IN THE ANC CONSTITUTION AS ADOPTED AT THE 54TH

CONFERENCE OF THE ANC

Where a public representative, office-bearer or member has been indicted to appear

in a court of law on any charge, the Secretary General or Provincial Secretary, acting
on the authority of the NEC, the NWC, the PEC or the PWC, if satisfied that the
temporary suspension of such public representative, office-bearer or member would
be in the best interest of the Organisation, may suspend such public representative,
elected office-bearer or member and impose terms and conditions to regulate their
participation and conduct during the suspension.

ORGANISATIONAL RENEWAL RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT 53RD CONFERENCE.

Conference reaffirmed that political discipline is a necessary ingredient without which

no organisation can achieve its goals. In this regard, Policy Conference reaffirms the
NGC’s call for firm and consistent action to instil discipline across all levels of the
organization without fear or favour. Instilling discipline is a process that includes
political education, correcting personal and social conduct that impinges upon the
integrity of the ANC as well as consistent disciplinary action against anyone who
violates the ANC Constitution and Code of Conduct.

ANC CREDIBILITY AND INTEGRITY: DEALING WITH CORRUPTION: ADOPTED

AT THE 54TH CONFERENCE.

Noting

• An increase in corruption, factionalism, dishonesty, and other negative practices

that seriously threaten the goals and support of the ANC.
• That these practices contradict and damage our mission to serve the people and
use the country’s resources to achieve development and transformation.
• That corruption robs our people of billions that could be used for their benefit.
• That the lack of integrity perceived by the public, has seriously damaged the ANC
image, the people’s trust in the ANC, our ability to occupy the moral high ground,
and our position as leader of society.
• That current leadership structures seem helpless to arrest these practices, either
because they lack the means or the will, or are themselves held hostage by them.
• At times we do things that are not according to ANC or government policy, or not
legal or constitutional, and wait for courts to correct our actions.

1
• Our association with, and the closeness of our leaders to, business people facing
allegations of corruption.
• That the ANC is endangered to the point of losing credibility in society and power
in government.
• That our leadership election processes are becoming corrupted by vote buying and
gatekeeping.
• That the state investigative and prosecutorial authorities appear to be weakened
and affected by factional battles, and unable to perform their functions effectively

RESOLVES

That the 2015 NGC resolutions plus other existing and new measures are
implemented urgently by the NEC and PECs to:

1. Strengthen our understanding of our values, ethics and morality and the demands
that the people, the constitution and the rule of laws place on us as the guardians
of the state, and its resources;

2. Demand that every cadre accused of, or reported to be involved in, corrupt
practices accounts to the Integrity Committee immediately or faces DC pro-
cesses. (Powers of IC under constitutional changes);

3. Summarily suspend people who fail to give an acceptable explanation or to

voluntarily step down, while they face disciplinary, investigative or prosecutorial
procedures;

4. We publicly disassociate ourselves from anyone, whether business donor,

supporter or member, accused of corruption or reported to be involved in
corruption;

5. All ANC members and structures should cooper- ate with the law-enforcement
agencies to criminally prosecute anyone guilty of corruption;

6. The ANC should respect the Constitution of the country and the rule of law and
ensure that we get the best possible legal advice in government to ensure our
compliance wherever possible, rather than waiting to defend those who stray;

7. The ANC deployees to Cabinet, especially Finance, Police and Justice, should
strengthen the state capacity to successfully investigate and prosecute corruption
and account for any failure to do so;

8. Secretaries at all levels will be held accountable for any failure to take action or
refer matters of corruption or other negative conduct (in terms of ANC code of
conduct) to the relevant structures;

9. Within the ANC nomination and election process: Ban all slates and enforce the
ANC code of con- duct and disciplinary procedures. Investigate and prosecute all
cases of vote or support buying, or membership or branch gatekeeping;

2
10. Implement the NEC resolution on state capture, including the expeditious
establishment of a Judicial Commission of Enquiry.

PROPOSAL FOR THE ACTIONING OF THE TASK

Mayors, ANC MMCs, Chief Whips, ANC Chairs of Portfolio committees at all
levels of the state to obtain from them a Declaration of Assets, Shareholding,
