JOHANNESBURG - Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma's campaigner Carl Niehaus has criticised ANC members who've turned to the courts to resolve internal disputes.

Court rulings on the eve of the ANC's national conference have resulted in a number of delegates being stripped of their voting rights.

Niehaus says ANC members should not be running to courts to solve their problems.

He believes the party should table a motion at the conference which will make it impossible for members to take the party to court in future.

“We are a political party and political parties resolve their problems politically. It is unacceptable to use a court as an instrument by one particular group or faction within a political party to try and resolve their problems.”

In fact, he holds the view that members should be suspended if they head to court without trying to resolve their issues internally.
