The Free State High Court in Bloemfontein on Wednesday morning started hearing an urgent application by the African National Congress (ANC) to challenge a Mangaung council sitting that resulted in Afrikan Alliance for Social Democrats president Papi Mokoena being elected mayor of the troubled municipality. Besides petitioning the court to declare the 14 April council sitting unlawful, the ANC has also asked the court to interdict and restrain Mokoena from performing any mayoral acts.
