The ANC held a press briefing at Luthuli House on Wednesday afternoon on the outcomes of the National Working Committee that was held on Monday.

Spokesperson Pule Mabe says the party has noted remarks by individual members.

“We have noted individual members of the ANC that would’ve been mentioned in the report have said. That is their own right that does not change the position that the organisation has taken as it relates to supporting the work of the Zondo commission.

“Where individuals exercised their rights and where such an exercise is provided for in law, just if they have acted well within the parameters of the law. The ANC can never say to individuals not to exercise their rights."

"At the very same token the ANC can’t say because if individual members are exercising their rights it must change, alter, review or revise the positions it has pronounced in public.”

Part three of the report has implicated ANC national chairperson Gwede Mantashe for his dealings with Bosasa. 

It further found that there is a "reasonable prospect” that further investigation would uncover a prima facie case against him.

Mantashe has however placed it on record that he would be challenging the part of the report which he says has been based on nothing but assumptions.
