THE ANC has served Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans’ Association’s spokesperson Carl Niehaus with a notice of suspension.
Niehaus, who is employed in the office of the Secretary General Ace Magashule, has been given 48 hours to respond and give reasons why he should not be suspended on full pay, pending the outcome of a disciplinary action.
Last week, Niehaus released a statement on his Facebook and Twitter accounts complaining about ANC deputy secretary general Jessie Duarte for allegedly attacking him while he was recovering from a bout of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Neihaus wrote: “Comrade Jessie Duarte, saw it fit to attack me, and undermine my long history as a 42-year veteran of the ANC in good standing, as well as my elected position as an NEC member of MKMVA, and MKMVA National Spokesperson. This she did, knowing that when she was doing so, I was gravely ill.”
