Western Cape Council Members Support for Stability

Statement by Western Cape Provincial Council Members

We hereby confirm that we as provincial council members distance ourselves from an inter-provincial meeting that will purportedly take place on 29 June 2014.

We also call for those organising and participating in the 29 June 2014 meeting to be held accountable for sowing discord amongst the ranks in Agang SA and for purposefully attempting to take over the party via unconstitutional means.

Furthermore, we wish to extend our unequivocal support for our President, Dr. Mamphela Ramphele and her efforts to re-build the party and take it forward to 2016 local goverment elections. We must seek inspiration from her vision to re-align the political landscape in South African politics and offer voters a credible alternative.

We strongly believe that the way forward is to stabilize the party's finances and getting member records in order so we can run proper democratic elective conferences at provincial and national level, and decide on a constitution with full participation of the members. We cannot run any form of democratic process without solving these problems and therefore stand behind the presidential task team in its important work.
