Trueman Prince expelled from the ANC

Disgraced politician Truman Prince was one of four ANC members who were expelled from the party on Sunday following a disciplinary hearing. Western Cape ANC secretary Mcebisi Skwatsha said Prince, the former mayor of the Central Karoo district municipality, had contravened the party's constitution by opposing another ANC candidate in the same constituency. Skwatsha said three other ANC members Michael Motsoane and councilors Owenita Simpson and Rodney Visagie had also been expelled for joining other organizations. He added that the ANC was cleaner and more focused without what he termed these hindrances and embarrassments. Prince was exposed on a television programme earlier this year for his apparent involvement with under-aged girls.
