An alleged associate of Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, Brown Mogotsi told media that he remains a member of the African National Congress (ANC) in good standing.
This comes after the African National Congress (ANC) Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula told journalists last week that Mogotsi’s ANC membership had expired.
Mogotsi said Mbalula’s utterance that his ANC membership has expired were unwarranted and simply overreach.
Mogotsi refutes Mbalula’s communication and utterances.
“But let me confirm something to you, I’m a member of the ANC in good standing. I have also attempted to send you some proof that membership only expires at the end of October but it is not the Secretary-General who has the power to do that, my branch, which I have communicated with and they are aware that my membership only expires at the end of October,” says Mogotsi.
Mogotsi has also confirmed that he is ready and available to appear before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry as well the Parliamentary Ad Hoc Committee.
Meanwhile, the ANC North West Secretary, Louise Diremelo supported the view of Mbalula that suggested Mogotsi is not the party member despite reports that he said he is an ANC member in good standing.
Diremelo said Mogotsi’s membership expired in 2020 and has not been renewed since then.
