The ANC has referred former police minister Bheki Cele, former Social Development minister Sisisi Tolashe and three other members to its disciplinary committee after the Integrity Commission found they had brought the party into disrepute.

Former Police Minister Bheki Cele and recently fired Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe are among five ANC members referred to the party’s disciplinary committee for allegedly bringing the organisation into disrepute.

ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula announced during a media briefing in Johannesburg on Tuesday, where he outlined the outcomes of the party’s recent NEC meeting.

Mbalula said the NEC had received and considered the ANC Integrity Commission's report on matters involving five members.

“The NEC thanks and salutes the members of the Integrity Commission, which stands at the core of the African National Congress’s renewal programme and the upholding of ethical conduct and good governance within our ranks,” he said.
