Twenty-Six rebel ANC members yesterday allegedly registered as independent candidates for the local government elections at the IEC offices in East London.

The rebel group was supposed to be 30-strong, but there was drama late yesterday when four, plus two members of the Pan Africanist Movement and one PAC member, were prevented from registering as candidates.

They were ordered out of the IEC offices by at least four police officers, apparently when the clock hit 5pm.
