“They are accountable to the party structure‚ they are deployees and they take their mandate from the National Executive Committee (NEC).
“The NEC has debated at length the question of the motion of no confidence on the president and that decision has been announced to all members of the organisation‚ that we will not withdraw our president from parliament‚” Mbalula‚ said adding the party would not withdraw the President from the executive either.
All party members in terms of ANC discipline are supposed to follow that particular position‚ he explained.
“To the extent to which people will be ill disciplined‚ the ANC will have to apply the disciplinary procedure for those who want to use the so-called conscience to determine their voting in parliament.
“If that were to occur‚ quite clearly‚ it would have been against the decision of the ANC‚” Mbalula said.
