The participation of recalled Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) representatives remains uncertain as Sengezo Tshabangu, the self-proclaimed interim secretary general of the CCC, who recalled them, has filed an urgent High Court application seeking to have their names removed from the ballot paper.
Tshabangu insists that the former representatives are no longer CCC members and should be disqualified from representing the party in the upcoming by-elections.
The High Court has yet to rule on the matter.
