ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has given the embattled former North West premier Supra Mahumapelo a lifeline after the decision to suspend his party membership earlier this week.
Magashule has written to Mahumapelo telling him that his membership remains “intact” by virtue of him appealing his five-year suspension.
He said, in a letter dated April 29 2021, that the suspension of Mahumapelo s membership has been stayed.
This comes after the ANC membership of Mahumapelo and his co-accused, acting provincial ANC Women s League secretary Bitsa Lenkopane, were suspended for five years by the Interim Provincial Committee in the North West for sowing divisions in the party.

While some welcomed the suspension, others said it should serve as a warning for party secretary-general and former Free State premier Ace Magashule, who is expected to step aside from his ANC roles on Thursday.
