Lists probe moves to Limpopo

The ANC's task team investigating alleged irregularities in the May 2011 local government elections candidate lists moves to Limpopo today.

Home Affairs Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who heads the investigation, said the team would first meet the party's provincial executive committee.

This will be followed by meetings in the Peter Mokaba, Mopani, Waterberg, Vhembe and Sekhukhune regions.

The task team has already completed its investigations in seven other provinces.

"We have made significant progress thus far due to, by and large, the cooperation and support we have been getting from all provincial, regional and branch structures," she said.

The task team will later move to the Eastern Cape, after which it will compile a report to be presented to the party's national executive committee.

Before the local government elections last year, the ANC announced a new process allowing communities to nominatecandidates.

There were, however, several protests around the country when popular candidates were removed from some of the lists.
