New Age2.png Protest leaders off the hook Luthuli House protesters escape disciplinary action Bonolo Selebano, The New Age, Johannesburg, 15 September 2016 Disciplinary proceedings will not be meted out against ANC members who participated in the Occupy Luthuli House protest, ANC national spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said. Speaking on the outcome of a meeting between himself, ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe and the leaders of the protest on Tuesday, Kodwa said relations with the organisers of the protest that took place earlier this month outside the ANC's Luthuli House headquarters in Johannesburg were not beyond repair. This comes despite calls by the ANC Youth League to haul in its members who were part of the protest before the party's disciplinary committee. "DC's and expulsions did not arise. Those are for people who are incorrigible and beyond repair. We don't think that we've reached that point," Kodwa said. He said the party members who were behind the protest agreed to a follow up meeting to iron out their differences. "We agreed for a follow up meeting due to the nature of the discussions." Kodwa also said that the meeting was part of the ANC's national executive council (NEC) leadership's meetings with various party structures of the ANC to conduct post election analysis over its poor performance at the August 3 polls. "They were viewed in the context of the ANC's NEC meeting, everybody. At the end of the engagements we will table a report to the NEC leadership," he said. In the aftermath of the hotly contested elections, the ANC lost control of the country's biggest metros and was now playing second fiddle to the DA in the benches of the opposition in the Tshwane, Johannesburg and Nelson Mandela Bay metro's The ANC's Sefako Makgatho branch chairperson, Sasabona Manganye, one of the organisers of the march, took ANCYL president Collen Maine to task when he called for charges to be levelled against the protest organisers. "Collen Maine is non-existent in the structures of the ANC, we don't have time for him," he said. Manganye, however, said he was confident that the meeting would bear "fruitful" results. "Although the issues cannot be resolved in a day or one meeting, we are confident we'll go somewhere as there has been a commitment for continuous engagement," he said.
