The African National Congress has confirmed the expulsion of 55 councillors in the Eastern Cape.

ANC spokesperson Jessie Duarte says they are among councillors ousted in May for joining the Congress of the People.

“The expulsion came after a national disciplinary committee appeals process.”

Duarte says the committee led by Cyril Ramaphosa ruled that the councillors could not rejoin the party for seven years until 2016.

None of the affected people turned up for the appeals hearing in Bhisho.
