ANC dumps poo-flinger

The ANC has expelled former Cape Town councillor Loyiso Nkohla and suspended Andile Lili for their role in the dumping of faeces at Western Cape government buildings.

Nkohla and Lili led violent protests last year against the distribution of portable flush toilets to informal settlements by the DA-controlled City of Cape Town, insisting that the city council had to install proper flush toilets.

Yesterday the ANC announced that it had dumped Nkohla and handed a three-year sentence to Lili, suspended for two years.

But Nkohla in response said he would meet with his legal counsel on whether to appeal the sentence to the ANC's national structures.

"I'm not fired from the ANC until the national leadership has expressed an opinion," said Nkohla.

In 2012, Nkohla was handed a suspended sentence by the ANC.

This was for his role for disrupting President Jacob Zuma's memorial speech at the Good Hope Centre.

During the event chairs were thrown, injuring several people.
